From the IUCN Red List Species Account:

Range Description

This species is largely restricted to western Veracruz and adjacent Hidalgo and Puebla in Mexico between 1,200 and 2,100m asl. There is an apparently disjunct population in central and south-eastern Chiapas (and adjacent Oaxaca) (Lynch 2000b). It probably occurs more widely than current records suggest.

Habitat and Ecology

This species inhabits tropical montane forest, and it is not known if it can survive in disturbed habitats. Breeding takes place by direct development.

Population

There is no information on the population status of this species.

Population Trend

decreasing

Major Threats

The main threat is forest loss due to logging, human settlement, and some agricultural activities.

Conservation Actions

It occurs in Reserva de la Biósfera La Sepultura.

Red List Status

Vulnerable (VU)

Rationale

Listed as Vulnerable because its Extent of Occurrence is less than 20,000 km2, its distribution is severely fragmented, and there is continuing decline in the extent and quality of its montane forest habitat

Taxonomic Notes

This species was previously included in the genus Eleutherodactylus (Crawford and Smith 2005). We follow Lynch (2000b) in separating Eleutherodactylus loki from E. rhodopis.
