Taxonomy
| Animalia | Chordata | Vertebrata | Amphibia | Anura | Brachycephalidae | Ischnocnema | Ischnocnema nigriventris |
Taxonomic notes: This species was removed from the synonymy of Eleutherodactylus bolbodactylus (Pombal and Cruz 1999).
Geographic Range
This species is known only from the type locality in the Serra de Cubatão, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, at around 800m asl.
Habitat
The type locality is old secondary forest, and the specimens were all collected on either the forest floor or on low vegetation. This species presumably breeds by direct development, like other species in the genus.
Threats
It is currently known only from within a protected area, so its habitat is currently protected, although air pollution has been a problem in this region in the past.
Red List Rationale
Listed as Data Deficient in view of the absence of recent information on its extent of occurrence, status and ecological requirements.
