Description

Habitat

Biome: Terrestrial

Ecology: This is a very poorly-known forest species. Although there are some lowland records2,3,4,5, most records are from montane forest, including records at 1,200-1,800 m on New Ireland1,4,6. It is probably excluded from degraded forest habitats by the common A. novaehollandiae and it may be less common in the lowlands through competition with the similar A. luteoschistaceus.[1]
