Habitat and Ecology: | It inhabits lowland tropical moist forest and "rolling hills", and can be found in primary and possibly slightly degraded habitats. The breeding habitat is not known, although the larvae are presumably deposited in water. |
Systems: | Terrestrial; Freshwater |
Major Threat(s): | The major threat is the loss of forest habitat through agriculture (coffee), livestock production, and subsistence wood collection. The species has not been recorded from international trade. |
Conservation Actions: | It is not recorded from any protected areas. Improved habitat protection is required at sites where this species is known to occur. |
