Conservation. This species is classified as Vulnerable (VU) in the Red List of Brazilian Threatened Fauna (MMA 2016). Toca do Goncalo Cave has no legal protection from Brazilian environmental agencies. Because it is a rare locale containing water in a semi-arid region, the cave is currently under severe threat from the efforts of local farmers to uncover water resources. Protective measures are urgently required, including monitoring of cave populations and the creation of a conservation unit.
