Distribution and habitat

Dialyceras discolor is known only from a few locations in the northeastern region of Sava. [3] Its habitat is humid evergreen forests from sea-level to 500 m (1,600 ft) altitude. None of the locations are within protected areas. [1] [3]

Threats

Dialyceras discolor is threatened because lemurs, and other animals, disperse the tree's seeds. Threats to these animals would in turn affect the tree's reproduction. [1]
