The red list of the IUCN ver. 3.1 assigned the category “Data Deficient” to Juscelinomys huanchacae (see Dunnum et al. 2008). Since the known records are restricted to Bolivian cerrado, the species was not considered to be included in the official list of threatened species of Brazil (ICMBIO-MMA 2016).
