Scientific Name:	Ceuthomantis duellmani
Species Authority:	Barrio-Amorós, 2010
Taxonomic Notes:	This species was previously reported as Pristimantis cf. cavernibardus (Barrio-Amorós 2010).

Assessment Information [top]

Red List Category & Criteria:	Least Concern ver 3.1
Year Published:	2012
Assessor/s:	IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group,
Reviewer/s:	Roberts, D. & Stuart, S.N.
Contributor/s:	Barrio-Amorós, C.L.
Justification: Listed as Least Concern given that, even though it is only known from Sarisariñama tepui, this tepui is remote, it is within the protected area of Jaua-Sarisariñama National Park, and there are no known threats to this species at this time.

Geographic Range [top]

Range Description:	It is known from three different campsites within the Sarisariñama tepui in Bolivar State, southeastern Venezuela (Barrio-Amorós 2010). Its altitudinal range is between 1,100 - 1,375 m asl and based on its area polygon its extent of occurrence (EOO) is estimated to be approximately 546 km²(C.L. Barrio-Amorós pers. comm. May 2011). Further survey efforts are needed to fully understand this species' distribution, including areas in between known sites, although it is presumed to occur in Jaua and Guanacoco, two neighbouring tepuis (C.L. Barrio-Amorós pers. comm. May 2011).

Population [top]

Population:	This species is abundant in the Sarisariñama tepui (Barrio-Amorós 2010).
Population Trend:	Stable

Habitat and Ecology [top]

Habitat and Ecology:	This species occurs in small montane primary forests completely covered by moss and other epiphytic plants (Barrio-Amorós 2010). Individuals were difficult to locate as they were calling from concealed sites under the ground or hidden inside roots and holes of trees after rain during daytime (Barrio-Amorós 2010). As with other congeners, this species is presumed to breed by direct development (C.L. Barrio-Amorós pers.comm. May 2011).
Systems:	Terrestrial
