The geographic range of this species is less than 12 km2 and its area of occupancy is much less than this, based on the recovery of a single dead specimen from one point locality in 2003 (Rundell 2005, 2010). The species has not been collected alive anywhere in Palau since then. Extensive surveys have been carried out on most islands of Palau in 2003, 2005 and 2007 (Rundell 2010). Historically, there would have been suitable vegetation on much of Peleliu, however, this island has been subject to substantial modification of the vegetation in the last 100-200 years, from mining activities, human habitation, construction of an airstrip and burning of much of the vegetation on the island during one of the bloodiest battles of World War II - U.S. Operation Stalemate, Peleliu Invasion, 1944 (Hinz 1995, Crombie and Pregill 1999).
