Conservación: Hybopsis boucardi es evaluada por la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza en la lista roja de especies amenazadas como (EN) En peligro (2018). Hybopsis boucardi may be restricted to the Cuernavaca area, where water extraction and stream pollution have both led to serious problems for the aquatic fauna (Schönhuth et al., 2006:10). H. boucardi is additionally threatened by the introduction of exotic species, mainly rainbow tout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (Contreras-MacBeath, 2019).
