This species is endemic to the coastal scarp forest and woodland in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, and has only been observed within an 80 km-long strip along the Eastern Cape coast. Human activities, such as construction, tourism, and livestock use, are major contributors to its habitat loss.
