Individuals have been collected from within and beneath rotted wood in a wooded ravine of a seasonally dry forest containing pines, scattered oaks, laurels, and abundant brushy vegetation (Campbell et al. 2010). Immediately following disturbance to its habitat, the species can still be found provided there are still areas of refuge available; however, several years after such disturbance events the species can not be found and therefore it is not thought to be tolerant to disturbance in the longer term (J. Campbell pers. comm. August 2019). It presumably lays eggs that undergo direct development.
It may occur in Parque Nacional Municipal Todos Santos Cuchumatanes (C. Vásquez-Almazán pers. comm. August 2019).
Conservation Needed
Habitat protection and effective management are required at sites where this species is known to occur. 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
Additional surveys are needed to determine whether this species is still surviving. More information is needed on this species' population status, life history and threats.
