Habitat:

This species occurs in montane cloud forests (Campbell et al. 2010). Individuals were found on the ground, or on vertical rotting trunks about 2 m above the ground (Campbell et al. 2010). This species lays eggs that undergo direct development (J. Campbell pers. comm. October 2011).

Range:

This species is endemic to the Sierra de las Minas in Guatemala (Guatemala Red List Assessment Workshop August 2019). It is known from its type locality of Biotopo del Quetzal (Campbell et al. 2010), Chilascó, (G. Ruano-Fajardo pers. comm. August 2019), and three localities in Cerro Pinalon: from above Albores, from above San Agustín Acasaguastlán, and from a road between La Trinidad and Cerro Pinalon (Campbell et al. 2010, S. Rovito pers. comm. August 2019). It occurs at elevations between 2,235 and 2,760 m asl and its estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is 240 km², which represents one to two threat-defined locations.This species may possibly occur slightly more widely in Sierra de las Minas, since portions of this large mountain range are poorly surveyed (J.A. Campbell pers. comm. August 2019).

Conservation:

Conservation Actions In-Place
This species occurs in Biotopo del Quetzal and Reserva de la Biósfera Sierra de las Minas (J.A. Campbell pers. comm. August 2019).

Conservation Needed
Expansion of effective forest preservation and continued management of existing protected areas is essential for the conservation of this species. Community education and awareness programmes aimed to minimise persecution of salamanders in Guatemala are recommended. 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' population status, life history and threats.
