Justification of Red List category
This recently described species is listed as Near Threatened because its current known range is small and declining as a result of habitat loss for ranching. Its range has become fragmented and with further information regarding whether its range becomes severely fragmented it may warrant uplisting in the future. However, if its range is shown to be larger than currently thought then it may warrant downlisting.
