In 2014, it was mainly found to the west of the Red River, in north Vietnam and southern Yunan Province in China.[2]
It is often seen as a subspecies of the Chinese pygmy dormouse (T. cinereus), along with T. ci daloushanensis, T. ci. Guangxiensis and T. ci. Jingdongensis; in 2014, it was seen by Abramov et al as an individual species and separate from T. cinereus.[2]
At the start of the 21st century, it was listed as a critically endangered species.[3] By 2017, the status of the general T. cincereus was as a creature of ‘least concern’.[4]
