It is endemic to the Nicobar Islands, India, in particular Great Nicobar Island, but it may also occur on Little Nicobar Island.[1] Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It has an uncertain status but is thought to be rare or endangered.[1] It was originally discovered by Pamela C.
