Taxonomic Notes:
Taxonomic revision of this species is needed, with the population in Monteverde, Costa Rica, possibly
representing an undescribed species (Brian Kubicki pers. comm.).
Assessment Information
Red List Category & Criteria:
Least Concern ver 3.1
Year Published:
2008
Date Assessed:
January 1, 2008
Justification:
Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is
unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.
Previously Published Red List Assessments
2004 – Least Concern (LC)
Geographic Range
Range Description:
This species is known from the humid lowlands, premontane slopes, and lower areas of the lower
montane belt of the Atlantic slope of Costa Rica, and the Pacific slope marginally in northwestern Costa
Rica and from southwestern Costa Rica also on the Atlantic versant in central Panama (up to 1,580m
asl). Some records from the Caribbean slope of Costa Rica may refer to Hyalinobatrachium chirripoi
(Brian Kubicki pers. comm.). In Colombia it is known from Tolima, Caldas, Boyaca, Cordoba, Antioquia,

Population
It is generally a common species throughout its range. The population declined drastically in
Monteverde, Costa Rica, by early in the 1990s, but it has since partially recovered.
Current Population Trend: Stable
Habitat and Ecology (see Appendix for additional information)
It inhabits humid lowland and montane forest, and is observed in bushes and trees along forest streams.
The larvae develop in these streams. It is restricted to the vegetation over the streams.
Systems: Terrestrial, Freshwater
Threats
General habitat loss due to the destruction of natural forests is a localized threat, but there are no major
threats to the species overall survival at present.
Conservation Actions (see Appendix for additional information)
The species has been recorded from a number of protected areas throughout its range.
