Wavy-lined Hopper

Stonasla undulata

Declining

Overview

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

Stonasla undulata 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 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

Stonasla undulata inhabits specialized microhabitats within tropical forest ecosystems, typically found in areas with specific moisture and substrate conditions. The species requires undisturbed forest floor environments with particular vegetation associations that provide both shelter and food resources.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Wavy-lined Hopper classified as Critically Endangered?
Wavy-lined Hopper is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Stonasla undulata 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 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.
Where does Wavy-lined Hopper live?
Wavy-lined Hopper occurs in St. Helena. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Wavy-lined Hopper?
The main threats to Wavy-lined Hopper are 8.1, ai-1, ai-2, and ai-3. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
