Habitat:
This is an arboreal species which inhabits cloud forest in Colombia. All sites where this species has been recorded have been within primary forest and it probably requires good forest to survive (G. Gonzalez pers. comm. December 2018). Individuals have been observed in understory vegetation and during the day are found in the leaf-litter or bromeliads (G. Gonzalez pers. comm. December 2018). It is presumed to breed by direct development.
Range:
This species occurs at Medellín in the Department of Antioquia, Colombia, at 1,540 m asl. It is now also known from the Departments in Tolima and Caldas (Acosta-Galvis 2007, G. Gonzalez pers. comm. December 2018). Specimens from the eastern lowlands in the southwest of Darién Province in Panama have also been referred to this species, but this is probably in error (G. Gonzalez pers. comm. December 2018, A. Batista pers. comm. August 2019). It is possible that Río Blanco, Tolima Department is the southernmost record of the species because the habitat becomes drier in Huila Department (G. Gonzalez pers. comm. December 2018). The northern limit of this species' range probably coincides with the northern end of the Cordillera Central (G. Gonzalez pers. comm. December 2018). It is possible that this species could occur in Serranía de San Lucas; however, because there have been few surveys in the area due to ongoing illegal activities, its presence there remains unknown (G. Gonzalez pers. comm. December 2018). Its elevational range is 1,400–2,400 m asl, and its estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is 26,098 km2, which represents between six and ten threat-defined locations.
Conservation:
Conservation Actions In-Place
In Colombia, it occurs in Parque Nacional Natural Selva Florencia.
Conservation Needed
Proactive, precautionary steps should be taken to detect the arrival of Bsal in Colombia and to establish a baseline by including the swabbing of salamanders encountered during routine amphibian monitoring activities in this country.
Research Needed
Further research is required to study the phylogenetic relationships of this and other related species (G. Gonzalez pers. comm. December 2018). Additional studies into its ecology, natural history are needed, as are additional surveys to better understand its population status.
