Justification:
Listed as Data Deficient as the limits of distribution are not well known, and there is little information on its current population status. With additional survey work, this species probably will be shown to occur much more widely on Borneo, with the result that it would be downlisted to a lower category of threat.

History:

1996

–

Vulnerable
