Eleutherodactylus longipes occurs in pine-oak forests at elevations of 650–2,000 m (2,130–6,560 ft) above sea level. Several records are from caves. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging. Chytridiomycosis remains a potential threat. It might be present in the Cumbres de Monterrey National Park.[1]
