Habitat:
This species occurs in bromeliads (terrestrial and arboreal) in forests and open and rocky areas. It is a live-bearing species, giving birth to 1–3 young, unique amongst members of the genus.
Range:
This species is known from the Sierra de Cayey, Puerto Rico, from 647–785 m asl.
Conservation:
Conservation Actions In-Place
The range of this species includes a very small area within the Carite Forest Reserve, which is a well-managed protected area. The recovery plan for the Puerto Rican Golden Coquí was completed in 1984 (Díaz 1984).
Conservation and Research Needed
It is a high priority to conduct surveys to determine whether or not this species could still survive in the wild, particularly in isolated and difficult to access areas (Puerto Rico Red List Assessment Workshop 2020). Specifically, the eastern side of Carite National Forest should be extensively surveyed (N. Ríos-López pers. comm. 2020). If this species is rediscovered in the wild, efforts to better understand this species' reproductive ecology, habitat use and quality, and population dynamics are deemed essential before any individuals are brought into captivity for ex-situ conservation efforts (Puerto Rico Red List Assessment Workshop 2020).
