Overview

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

Dinoptera collaris faces severe population declines due to widespread deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range. The species' specialized habitat requirements and small population size make it extremely vulnerable to ongoing agricultural expansion and climate-induced changes to forest ecosystems.

Threat summary

Habitat

Occupies mature deciduous and mixed forests with dense canopy cover, particularly favoring oak and beech woodlands between 200-800m elevation. Requires dead and decaying hardwood trees for larval development, making it dependent on forests with natural succession processes.
