保育: Heterophallus echeagarayi 被評鑑為國際自然保育聯盟瀕危物種紅皮書名單中的 (DD) 資料缺乏 (2018). The area of distribution of Heterophallus echeagarayi is subject to a number of land-use impacts, including those generated from agricultural and cattle production. Additionally, a number of non-native species have been introduced to the basin which may impact the fitness of native fauna (Lyons, 2019).
