Thaumatodon corrugata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Thaumatodon corrugata faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its extremely limited range. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, while its small population size increases extinction risk from stochastic events. Collection pressure for the ornamental trade has historically impacted populations, though current collection levels remain poorly documented.
Habitat
Thaumatodon corrugata inhabits specialized microhabitats in tropical montane forests, typically found on moss-covered rocks and tree trunks in areas with high humidity and consistent moisture. The species requires very specific environmental conditions including particular temperature ranges and substrate types that are found only in undisturbed forest ecosystems.
