![[icon]](/index.php/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=link}
Cicynethus peringueyi is known only from juvenile specimens, making a complete description impossible. The available juvenile material shows a color pattern that resembles that of C. floriumfontis, suggesting that C. peringueyi is a synonym.[4]
Conservation
[edit | edit source]The species is listed as Data Deficient because only juvenile specimens are known and adults remain undescribed. More sampling is needed to collect adult material and determine the species' true range and taxonomic status.[3]
