Justification
This species has a moderately small and declining population. Consequently it is currently classified as Near Threatened.

Distribution and populationHemitriccus rufigularis occurs disjunctly in the east Andes of
Ecuador (west Napo, Morona-Santiago, Sucumbíos
[T. Schulenberg
in litt. 2001] and Zamora-Chinchipe),
Peru (San Martín and from Huánuco south to Puno) and west
Bolivia (La Paz, extreme south-west Beni and west Santa Cruz)
(Ridgely and Tudor 1994). It is uncommon and very local.
Population justificationThe population is preliminarily estimated to number at least 10,000 individuals, roughly equating to 6,700 mature individuals. This requires confirmation.
Trend justificationThis species is suspected to lose 11.3-11.6% of suitable habitat within its distribution over three generations (11 years) based on a model of Amazonian deforestation (Soares-Filho et al. 2006, Bird et al. 2011). It is therefore suspected to decline by <25% over three generations.
EcologyIt appears to be restricted to vine tangles within humid foothill forest on isolated low massifs at 750-1,500 m (
Ridgely and Tudor 1994;
Parker
et al. 1996; Ridgely and Greenfield 2001; Schulenberg
et al. 2007).
ThreatsIn Peru, much of its habitat is relatively intact above 900 m, but there has been widespread destruction of foothill forests elsewhere in its range
(Ridgely and Tudor 1994), where the effects of extensive agricultural conversion and logging have been amplified by road-building and human colonisation (Dinerstein
et al. 1995)
.
Conservation actions underwayNone is known.
Conservation actions proposedDesignate and effectively protect areas of foothill forest within its range. Promote conservation of forests among local people. Study the species's ecology and determine its ability to persist in degraded and fragmented habitats. Survey suitable habitat within its potential range. Attempt to quantify any declines in population.
