From the IUCN Red List Species Account:   Range Description This species is known only from two localities in south-western Cameroon: Makamunu Assumbo in Mamfe Division, and Ndikinimeki. It presumably occurs between these two localities, and also more widely. Habitat and Ecology There is no information on its habitat and ecological preferences. It presumably lives in the soil in lowland rainforest. It is oviparous, probably with direct development of its eggs. Population The population status of this species is unknown. Population Trend Unknown Major Threats No information is available; especially since its adaptability to habitat change is unknown. Conservation Actions Further taxonomic work is required to determine whether or not the specimens from the two known localities refer to the same species. Taxonomic Notes It is not clear that the specimens from the two known localities refer to the same species. Citation Simon Loader, Mark Wilkinson 2004. Idiocranium russeli.
