It was found in Lung Fu Shan Country Park. [2]. The populations are restricted to Hong Kong; much of them are in the country parks in Hong Kong. There may be population in northeastern Vietnam[3]; there are not information about them, however. One specimen was once collected in Fujian but there are no recent records.
