Habitat:
This species inhabits the lower limit of subtropical cloud forest and can survive in somewhat degraded habitats, as long as good-quality patches of forest occur in the vicinity. Individuals have been found on the ground, under bark, and in arboreal bromeliads. Breeding takes place by direct development.
Range:
This species is restricted to the departments of El Quiché and Huehuetenango, Guatemala, in the Cordillera de los Cuchumatanes (Campbell et al. 2010, S. Rovito pers. comm. August 2019). This species occupies an elevational range of 1,200–2,500 m asl. Its estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is 4,664 km2, which represents five or fewer threat-defined locations.
Conservation:
Conservation Actions In-Place
This species has been reported from Yal Unin Yul Witz Reserve.
Conservation Needed
Expansion of effective forest preservation and continued management of existing protected areas is essential for the conservation of this species. Proactive, precautionary steps should be taken to detect the arrival of Bsal in Guatemala and to establish a baseline by including the swabbing of salamanders encountered during routine amphibian monitoring activities in the country (Guatemala Red List Assessment Workshop August 2019).
Research Needed
More information is needed on this species' distribution, population status, ecology, and threats. There is a need for monitoring the population status of this species given ongoing and future threats.
