This species is unique to Madagascar and found only in the grassland and ericoid thickets of the central highlands. The species has been collected from Ambahona forest of Ankaratra massif in the north, Ankazomivady forest near Ambositra, and Andringitra National Parc in the south. The search for food is carried out terrestrially on the ground and through leaf litter, and arboreally on lower vegetation (Rakotonirina, Csosz & Fisher, 2017).
