Taxonomic notes: Section empty
This species is known only from the islands of Mindoro and Sibay, from sea level to 600m asl, in the Philippines.
It inhabits undisturbed and disturbed streams and rivers in lower montane and lowland forests. Breeding takes place in streams in forested and disturbed areas, and the larvae develop in quiet side-pools in rivers.
Important threats to this species are the loss of the lowland rainforest due in particular to agricultural activities (cultivation of crops and livestock farming) and logging, and the pollution of mountain streams and rivers, due mainly to agricultural effluents.
Although recorded from protected areas on Mindoro, there is a need for additional protection of remaining forest habitats in the range of this species.
Listed as Endangered because its Extent of Occurrence is less than 5,000 km2, its distribution is severely fragmented, and there is continuing decline in the extent and quality of its habitat on Mindoro in the Philippines.
