Eugenia mozomboensis
P. E. Sánchez, Phytologia

Evaluation of IUCN:
Endangered.
Eugenia mozomboensis
has a distribution known only in the states of
Veracruz
and
Hidalgo
, occurring in the remnants of Humid Tropical Forest and Humid Montane Forest. The estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) falls within the thresholds of Endangered and Vulnerable categories under the criterion B, whilst the estimated area of occupancy (AOO) falls into the thresholds of Endangered category. Three collection records were found, two in
Veracruz
and one for
Hidalgo
, representing two different locations and all of them have ongoing threats. The habitat is impacted by anthropic activity, such as agriculture, extraction of miners and native forests, in addition to urban growth (
CONABIO 2018
) from which is inferred a continuing decline of habitat quality. Taking a precautionary approach,
Eugenia mozomboensis
is classified as Endangered (EN) considering that it is closer the thresholds for Endangered category than Vulnerable (VU), based on its estimated extent of occurrence and number of locations (less than 5). Therefore, it meets the criteria B1ab(iii)+B2ab(iii).
