This species is likely to be declining moderately rapidly throughout its small range as a result of habitat loss. Napothera atrigularis is restricted to Borneo, occurring in the Sundaic lowlands of Sabah and Sarawak, Malaysia; Kalimantan, Indonesia, and Brunei. It is generally scarce and occurs at low densities even in suitable habitat.
