This species is fairly widely distributed across India and into Thailand. Although there is a need for further data on distribution and habitat requirements, there is no reason to suppose that it is threatened across its entire range and it is assessed as Least Concern.

This species is widely distributed in India (e.g. Fraser 1933, Prasad and Varshney 1995, numerous other sources) and Bangladesh (Biswas et al. 1990) and also known from Thailand (e.g. Hämäläinen and Pinratana 1999); it is to be expected in Myanmar.

Judging from literature records this species is common in parts of India at least.

In southern and central India this species is commonly found in dry season and is to be sought for among long grass. Aestivating adults commonly found in thick forest from October to April amidst dry vegetation. However nothing appears to have been recorded on its breeding habitat, which is presumably ponds and similar habitats, probably including intermittent ones.

There is a lack of information for this species, but it is widespread and there are unlikely to be threats across the entire range of the species.

There is a need for further data on the distribution of this species, and for definite information on its breeding habitats, but specific conservation measures do not appear to be needed.
