Numerous in Trang in orchards at low elevations. 
Further south in the Peninsula in Selangor this species is 
only found at elevations over 3000 feet, Hemipus ohscurus 
(Horsf.) being the low-country species. In North Perak 
at Temengoh in July both species were found together in 
jungle-country of no great elevation, while in Trang the 
present species alone was met with.
