Befody, Ranomena near Ambavaniasy, Vohidrazana (Glaw and Vences 2007). It has been reported at elevations from 850-900 m asl (Vallan et al. 2008). It is found in vegetation along streams in both intact and disturbed rainforest, and in thick secondar vegetation in open areas outside the forest (Vallan et al. 2008).

Habits: Males call at night from positions 1-2 m above the ground in trees and bushes along broad streams in intact and disturbed rainforest. Calls are a series of 8-10 high-pitched melodious whistles (Glaw and Vences 2007).

Common where it occurs, but found only at a small number of sites. This species is not known to occur within any protected areas. Its habitat is threatened by increasing subsistence agriculture, logging, charcoal manufacture, invasion and spread of eucalyptus, increased grazing, and expanding human settlement (Vallan et al. 2008).
