Justification of Red List category
This species is classified as Endangered because it occurs in a very small range, in which habitat is lost and degraded at a slow rate. Its population is likely very small and restricted to several extremely small and disconnected subpopulations. Recent findings suggest that the species is able to tolerate some habitat conversion, and accurate quantifications of the population size and trend are urgently required.
