72. Eugenia tikalana Lundell, Wrightia View in CoL 2: 210 (1961a)

EOO: 155,110.419 km ². AOO: 276 km ². Evaluation of IUCN: Least Concern.

Eugenia tikalana occurs from southeastern Mexico to Guatemala and Belize ( Barrie 2020, WCSP 2020). One hundred and eighteen collection records are known, including the Yucatan Peninsula, which covers the southeast of Mexico with the states of Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo, but it also has influence in Belize and a part of the territory that belongs to Guatemala. The estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) exceeds the thresholds for a threatened category under the criterion B, as well as the area of occupancy (AOO) would probably exceed the thresholds for any threatened category if the remaining habitat available is taken in account. The occurrence biome is the Humid Tropical Forest, the species being an element of primary and secondary forests, from 13 to 950 m elev. Important collections have been recorded in biodiversity conservation areas in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, such as Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, the Maya Biosphere Reserve , the Sierra Lacandon National Park, and the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve. Therefore, Eugenia tikalana is classified here as Least Concern (LC) (BGCI & IUCN 2019i).
