From the IUCN Red List Species Account:   Range Description Anomaloglossus kaiei is known from Kaieteur National Park and the Pakaraima Mountains, Guyana, where it is known to occur in primary and disturbed forest (Kok et al., 2006). The species can also be found along the Guyana-Brazil border and is also possibly present in Brazil. It occurs between 150-900 m elevation (P. Kok, pers. comm. 2008). Habitat and Ecology The species has been found mainly in primary and disturbed forest, with one individual found at the edge of the savannah.

Population The species is considered to be locally abundant (Kok et al., 2006). Population Trend Stable Major Threats Mining activities within the boundaries of Kaieteur National Park constitute a threat to the Park's forest ecosystem (Kok et al., 2006).
