Habitat:
This species inhabits cloud forests, and can also be found in shaded coffee plantations and inside banana trees close to forest. It tends to be arboreal, occurring under bark and in bromeliads, and it breeds by direct development.
Range:
This species was previously known only from the mountainous regions of southwestern Alta Verapaz and Baja Verapaz, but has now been found in the Sierra de La Minas, Guatemala. It is now also known from the Departments of Zacapa and El Progreso in Guatemala (S. Rovito pers. comm. August 2019). It has been recorded from an elevational range of 1,000–2,290 m asl. Its estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is 7,943 km2.
Conservation:
Conservation Actions In-Place
This species occurs in Biotopo del Quetzal, the Reserva de la Biósfera Sierra de las Minas, and in several private reserves.
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
Further research on this species' distribution, population size and trends is recommended. There is a need for monitoring the population status of this species given the threats throughout its range.
