It ranges across the northern part of sub-Saharan Africa (Schiøtz 1967; Rödel 2000; Channing and Rödel 2019). The species was recorded within grassland at the foot of Mounts Nimba (07°35.453’N, 008°24.957’W; 843 m asl). Additional populations were recorded in the Yéalé village, on shrubs, palm trees, and herbaceous plants (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl). The males measured 32.0‒34.0 mm (N = 6), while a single recorded female reached 36.0 mm SUL.
