It is found only in Cameroon, and its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, meaning wet forest on mountain slopes. It is threatened by habitat loss. Its classification follows the 2005 treatment of the superfamily Muroidea by Musser and Carleton in Mammal Species of the World, the reference that its Wikipedia article cites.
