Least Concern

Geographic Range [top]

Range Description:	This species can be found in lowland and premontane humid Atlantic forest slopes from northeastern Honduras to western Panama and Pacific versant Costa Rica and west-central Panama, at elevations of 4-1,200m asl (Savage, 2002).
Countries:	Native: Costa Rica; Honduras; Nicaragua; Panama

Population [top]

Population:	This species is relatively uncommon, but widely distributed, and regularly seen in Costa Rica. The population at La Selva, Costa Rica appears to have experienced a decline (Whitfield et al., 2007).
Population Trend:	Unknown

Habitat and Ecology [top]

Habitat and Ecology:	This is a diurnal, forest-floor species of humid lowland and montane forest. It presumably breeds by direct development.
Systems:	Terrestrial

Threats [top]

Major Threat(s):	General habitat loss by the destruction of natural forests is a threat to this species. At La Selva, declines seem to be driven by climate-driven reductions in quantity of standing leaf litter (Whitfield et al., 2007).
