Habitat. Hemp C. 2005. Hyparrhenia grasslands and grassy patches along roads and plantations on the eastern slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro.

Molecular phylogeny: Fulvoscirtes is beside Acanthoscirtes the most recent evolved genus of Karniellina (Hemp et al. 2012). A subspecies of F. fulvus is also present in the adjacent situated geologically ancient North and South Pare Mountains suggesting a geologically young radiation with a split of the subspecies after the emergence of the volcano Kilimanjaro (1–2 Ma years).
Altitudinal range at Mt Kilimanjaro: 1100–1200 - 1300–1500 m.
