It had only been found at a few sites where habi ta t destruction was known to be advanced, and the latest verified record of the species dated from 1958. All three subspecies, namely gigantea, lehmanni and hylodroma were there fore treated as globally threatened by Collar et al.1, who published all available informa tion on the species.
