"Macrobrachium purpureamanus is only known from peat swamps on Kundur Island, Riau Archipelago, Indonesia (Wowor 1999). The species is only known from a black water creek at the edge of a peat swamp forest. In 1998 the peat swamps were under conversion to oil palm and rubber plantations, and now the peat land is likely to have totally been converted (D. Wowor pers. comm. 2011). This species is likely to be extinct and more survey work is required to see if the species is extant or not."
