Overview

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

Erepta stylodon faces severe population decline due to extensive habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, while its small population size increases extinction risk from stochastic events. Collection pressure for the pet trade has further reduced wild populations in accessible areas.

Threat summary

Habitat
