Habitat:
This species is thought to inhabit cloud forest. Both known individuals were found on the ground in very wet forest (J. Campbell and C. Vasquez Almazán pers. comm. August 2019). This species presumably breeds by direct development (Wake and Campbell 2000). It is thought that it will not tolerate any form of habitat disturbance (J. Campbell pers. comm. August 2019).
Range:
This species is known only from the vicinity of the type locality in the Montañas del Mico, in Izabal Department in eastern Guatemala. It has been recorded from an elevational range of 774–1,176 m asl (Wake and Campbell 2000, Köhler 2011, S. Rovito pers. comm. 2019). It may occur more widely within the Reserva Protectoral De Manantiales Cerro San Gil (Guatemala Red List Assessment Workshop August 2019). Its estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is 73 km2.
Conservation:
Conservation Actions In-Place
The type locality of this species is in the Reserva de Manantiales Montañas del Mico, also known as the Cerro San Gil Reserva Protectora de Manantiales.
Conservation Needed
Recommended conservation measures include improved management of the existing protected area(s) and habitat maintenance. 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' distribution, population status, ecology, and threats.
