It is native to Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China; India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam (Duckworth et al. 2008). The species is expected to occur in mixed evergreen forests of the northeast and southeast of Bangladesh.

This species is strongly arboreal and secretive. Primarily frugivorous, but also feeds on a wide range of animal food. Probably breeds throughout the year and there may be two litters per year, with two to three young in each litter (Duckworth et al. 2008). It occurs in evergreen and semievergreen forests including degraded areas having some contiguity of canopy.

Assessment rationale/justification
Although the name of Bangladesh mentioned as the westernmost range of the species (Duckworth et al. 2008, Khan 2009), there is no report confirming its occurrence in Bangladesh. However, it is expected to occur in mixed evergreen in the northeast and southeast of Bangladesh. In the absence of any concrete proof of occurrence the species has been categorized as Data Deficient.
