We consider this species to be globally threatened given that it is only known from 16 localities in Pernambuco , Paraíba and Alagoas (Roda, 2003; Silveira et al., 2003a; Farias et al., 2007) and we present records from five new sites ( Table 2 ). This species was also found south of the São Francisco river, in Sergipe (beyond the PCE as usually delimited) at the Mata do Crasto, in the municipality of Santa Luzia do Itanhy by A. Grosset & J. Minns. It is hoped that the belated recognition of species status for this distinctive taxon may afford it a higher conservation profile ( e.g., Mace, 2004 ).
