Justification of Red List category
The population size has been estimated at less then 10,000 mature individuals. The species appears to be reliant on primary Atlantic forest, which continues to be lost throughout the its range. Recent surveys have failed to find new populations and known populations are now known to be less extensive than previously estimated. It is likely to be undergoing a continued population decline owing to habitat loss. The species occurs in several subpopulations across Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, each of which likely contains less than 1,000 mature individuals. It is therefore listed as Vulnerable.
