Habitat:
This species inhabits lower montane and montane rainforests, mainly in terrestrial bromeliads in swampy areas (Costa Rica Red List Assessment Workshop September 2019); individuals have also been recorded in talus on steep slopes (Savage 2002), and on road cuts, but generally not in degraded habitats. It breeds by direct development and is not dependent upon water.
Range:
This species is known only from the Atlantic and Pacific slopes of the Cordillera de Talamanca of Costa Rica (Savage 2002). It has been recorded from an elevational range of 2,355–3,000 m asl. Its estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is 265km2.
Conservation:
Conservation Actions In-Place
This species is not known from any protected areas, though it might occur in Parque Nacional Chirripó.
Conservation Needed
Proactive, precautionary steps should be taken to detect the arrival of Bsal in Costa Rica and to establish a baseline by including the swabbing of salamanders encountered during routine amphibian monitoring activities in the country (Costa Rica Red List Assessment Workshop 2019).
Research Needed
More information is needed on this species' distribution, population status, ecology, and threats.
