This undescribed terrestrial species is an inhabitant of the Cameroon mountains, and seems to share external morphological affinities with an Ethiopian specimen from MNHN-RA collections. It occupies the Western Highlands, but also the Adamaoua high savannas. Currently its distribution is limited to a few peaks of the Cameroon Volcanic Dorsal, where it ascends to 2,109 m altitude at Mt. Oku.
