Erepta odontina

Unknown

Overview

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

Erepta odontina faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation, while collection pressure for the pet trade has further reduced wild populations. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the microhabitat conditions essential for this species' survival.

Threat summary

Habitat
