There is no information known about breeding habits, but it probably breeds by direct development, like other species of the genus. Population It is a common species at the type locality. Population Trend Stable Major Threats Logging might be a threat in the future, but at present there are no major threats, and the population is stable. Conservation Actions The type locality is within Parque Nacional Carrasco. This species requires close population monitoring given that it has a very restricted range.
