Only a single population of &lt;100 individuals has been recorded despite sampling efforts in surrounding areas in suitable seasons and habitats. In addition, it inhabits an area intensely degraded by human activities and is close to a highway with heavy traffic and to populated locations (Batuco, Lampa).
