review of non-cites amphibia species that are known or likely to be ...

Harvesting levels are apparently unknown, which may indicate that they are not very intense
(Vaira, pers. comm. 2007). Lavilla (2001) considered the species to be affected by habitat
alteration in the flats of northern Argentina.
BOLIVIA: Reported from the Nature Reserve El Corbalán, department of Tarija (Gonzales et al.,
2006), but also expected from the departments of Chuquisaca and Santa Cruz (Frost, 2007; De la
Riva et al., 2000). TNC (2005) reported the species from the departments of Santa Cruz and
Cordillera Arenales de Guanaco. It occurs in the protected area Kaa-Iya (IUCN et al., 2007).
Lucindo Gonzales (pers. comm. 2007), reported that virtually nothing is known about the
species in Bolivia, and that there is no information on the international trade in the species from
the country. Steffen Reichle (pers. comm. 2007a) also noted the little information available on C.
pierottii in Bolivia. Reichle (2007b) did not report trade as a known threat to the species in the
country.
PARAGUAY: Reported to occur in western Paraguay (Frost, 2007), specifically in the
departments of Alto Paraguay, Boqueron, and Presidente Hayes (Brusquetti & Lavilla, 2006). It
occurs in the protected area PN Defensores del Chaco (IUCN et al., 2007). No information on
its status in Paraguay was identified.
