Geographic Range

This species is known only from 800-1000 m Asl in Karin Bia-Po and Thao, Karin Hills, Myanmar (Ohler et al. 2011). Its distribution had previously been thought to be much larger with many populations spread accross six countries, however molecular data in Ohler et al. (2011) do not support the historic allocation of these additional populations to L. pelodytoides.
