From the IUCN Red List Species Account:

Range Description

This species is known from southern and eastern Bahia State and a single site in the Municipio de Minas Novas, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Its altitudinal range is approximately 90-300m asl. It probably occurs more widely than current records suggest, especially in areas between known sites.

Habitat and Ecology

This species is known from both late secondary tropical forest, with small streams and deep leaf-litter. Males are found vocalising under (or mostly) the leaf-litter, but exceptionally call from leaves and bushes above streams. Females are found on leaves above the margins of streams. It is presumed that reproduction takes place in the backwaters of these fast flowing streams. Many of the specimens were observed in secondary forest in fazendas (farms).

Population

There is little information available on the abundance of this species.

Population Trend

unknown

Major Threats

The threats to this species are not known. It appears to tolerate a degree of habitat modification.

Conservation Actions

It has been collected in the Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Estação Veracruz, the Parque Nacional Pau Brasil, the Parque Nacional Descobrimento and the Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Ecoparque de Una.

Red List Status

Least Concern (LC)

Rationale

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

Taxonomic Notes

This species was previously within the genus Hyla but has recently been moved to the genus Aplastodiscus (Faivovich, et al., 2005).
