Species Authority:	(Bokermann, 1975)
Synonym/s:	Eleutherodactylus bilineatus Bokermann, 1975 Ischnocnema bilineatus (Bokermann, 1975) [orth. error]

Assessment Information [top]

Red List Category & Criteria:	Least Concern ver 3.1
Year Published:	2004
Assessor/s:	Flora Junca, Bruno Pimenta
Reviewer/s:	Global Amphibian Assessment Coordinating Team (Simon Stuart, Janice Chanson, Neil Cox and Bruce Young)
Contributor/s:
Justification: Listed as Least Concern in view of its relatively wide distribution, tolerance of a degree of habitat modification, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.
