Assessment rationale/justification
The species is widely distributed in the mixed evergreen forests in the southeast and northeast of Bangladesh. It is rare and difficult to see, because of its nocturnal and arboreal habits (Khan 1996). The population is presumably declining due to habitat loss and habitat degradation. Therefore, it has categorized as a Near Threatened species.
