Justification of Red List category
Although this species may have a small range, the population is believed to be stable in the absence of plausible direct threats and is not severely fragmented or subject to extreme fluctuations. While the population may be small, it is believed to considerably exceed the threshold for listing as Vulnerable under Criterion D (fewer than 1,000 mature individuals). Hence it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under any criteria and is evaluated as Least Concern. Due to the restricted range and likely small population, should a population decline be suspected in the future then the species may warrant consideration for listing under a threatened category.
