Habitat:
This species inhabits pine-oak forest, and is often found living in bromeliads, in leaf axils and on the ground, under rocks, in leaf-litter, and inside piles of wood chips. It is not found in degraded habitats. This species is terrestrial and reproduces by direct development.
Range:
This species is known to occur from above Acultzingo, in central Veracruz to nearby areas in Puebla at elevations between 2,450–2,800 m asl. Its extent of occurrence (EOO) is 98 km2 and it occurs in a single threat-defined location.
Conservation:
Conservation Action
This species has not been found in any protected areas.
Conservation Needed
Improved habitat protection is required at sites where this species is known to occur. Additionally, proactive, precautionary steps should be taken to detect the arrival of Bsal in Mexico through the swabbing of both wild and imported salamanders, in addition to a total ban on the importation of non-native salamanders (Mexico Red List Assessment Workshop October 2019).
Research Needed
More information is needed on this species' distribution, population status, ecology, and threats. Surveys are needed to confirm the species survival and should any individuals be found, the prevalence and impact of Bd should be examined (S. Rovito pers. comm. October 2019).
