According to the catalogue, nine of the CAS specimens that have associated habitat data were “dug up from very wet turf” and eight were “dug up in garden patches, wet soil”. BNHS 3621 was also dug from moist soil, while searching for caecilian amphibians in a low-intensity agricultural habitat (O.V. Oommen, pers. comm.). Although the new species thus appears to tolerate at least some human disturbance and was locally abundant, at least, in 1990, little else is known of its natural history, and it has been recorded only from a very small area. Thus, it likely qualifies as Data Deficient conservation status based on IUCN Red List criteria (
