Range Description

This species is found along the Pacific coast of Mexico from southern Sonora to northern Chiapas. It is also recorded in the Balsas basin in Michoacán and on the Atlantic coasts of Veracruz.

Habitat and Ecology

While the species is known to feed on at least 19 prey taxa, dominant prey items consist of ants, beetles, and termites (Suazo-Ortuño et al., 2007).

Population

This is a very common species.

Population Trend

stable

Major Threats

Local populations might be affected by extreme habitat alteration, but generally this species is not threatened.

Conservation Actions

The preservation of ponds and other water systems is important for the reproduction and preservation of the populations of this species. It is known to occur in at least four protected areas along the Pacific coast (P. Ponce-Campos, pers. comm. 2008).

Red List Status

Least Concern (LC)

Rationale

Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, tolerance of a degree of habitat modification, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.
