Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species was described as probably not common (Cleere 1998).  However, it was found to be locally fairly common on Mt. Trus Madi, Sabah in 2010 (B. Harris in litt. 2016, D. L. Yong in litt. 2016) and at sites in the Kelabit highlands, Sarawak (D. L. Yong in litt. 2016).

Trend justification: Forest destruction in the lowlands of Borneo has been extensive, but its occurrence at higher elevations suggests this species is not suffering more than a moderately rapid decline.
