However, this inventory of ZNP revealed an expansion of the distribution from West Sumatra to Riau. This species occupies a wide altitude range from 30 to 1,500 m asl. This frog is also commonly found in primary or secondary forest among small creeks, and also in suitable peat swamp forest and wetland ecosystems.

This species specifically inhabits the peat swamp forests.

Conservation status: Least Concern.
