Justification of Red List category
This species qualifies as Critically Endangered because surveys have shown that it is declining extremely rapidly. It now has an extremely small population and is confined to just one island, Rota, where multiple factors are driving the decline, with the additional risk of potential colonisation of the island by the Brown Tree-snake Boiga irregularis. 

Population size: 50-249 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 120 km²

Country endemic: no
