Assessment Notes
Taxonomic notes
Fomitiporia neotropica should be compared to the species of the F. langloisii lineage, and to a lesser degree to F. punctata. In a morphological and biogeographical perspective, F. maxonii should be compared to F. neotropica. Both species are very similar except for the presence of setae, which have never been reported in F. maxonii (Campos-Santana et al. 2014).
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
Geographic range
The species is only known in 2 countries. In Brazil, it is known in 6 of the 26 states.
Population and Trends
There are 60 records in 2 countries, almost all of them in Brazil.
Population Trend: Uncertain
Habitat and Ecology
Neotropical species. In Brazil, the species is found in the Atlantic Forest, with rare reports in Amazonia.
Threats
In Brazil, this species is present in pluvial forest domain. However, the Amazon has currently the highest rates of deforestation in the last decades and the Atlantic Forest is already a hotspot.
Conservation Actions
Some records in Brazil are in unprotected areas.
Research needed
Other areas should be studied in order to assess the distribution of this species.
Use and Trade
None.
