Habitat and Ecology
The habitat for this species has not been recorded, but it presumably lives in streams in evergreen forest.
Population
No reliable data are available regarding its population status, due to possible confusion with L. doriae and L. pileata.
Population Trend
Unknown
Major Threats
No specific threats are known for this species, although it could presumably be affected by forest degradation and hydrological changes due to smallholder farming and logging.
Conservation Actions
It is likely to occur in several protected areas in peninsular Thailand and beyond. The absence of records from protected areas is more an issue of identification difficulties rather than the absence of survey efforts. Clarification of the taxonomy of this species is therefore needed. Safeguarding protected areas in the Thai-Malay peninsula should be the main objective for the conservation of this species.
