This East African species is known only from Kenya, where it has been recorded from Mount Sagalla (1,500 m asl) and Chawia Forest (1,600 m asl) in the Taita Hills (Oguge et al. 2004). It was not present at an additional 12 sites sampled by Oguge et al. (2004). It might be present in northern Tanzania, however, this requires confirmation (Hutterer 2005).
