From the IUCN Red List Species Account:   Range Description This species is known only from the Ukaguru Mountains in eastern Tanzania between 1,500 and 1,900m asl. It is thought likely to be endemic to the Ukaguru Mountains. Habitat and Ecology All records are from leaf litter in montane forest. It probably cannot tolerate forest clearance. It presumably breeds by direct development, like other members of its genus, without any dependence on water. Population It is probably relatively common in suitable habitat within its small range. Population Trend Decreasing Major Threats The forests in the Ukaguru Mountains are poorly protected, and threatened by agricultural encroachment and human settlement. Conservation Actions It occurs in the Mamiwa-Kisara Forest Reserve and the Ikwamba Forest Reserve. Citation Michele Menegon, Simon Loader 2008. Probreviceps durirostris.
