Aldina diplogyne

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Aldina diplogyne faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Amazon Basin. Mining activities and agricultural expansion have destroyed significant portions of its lowland rainforest habitat. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, with remaining populations isolated in small forest fragments.
