Justification of Red List category
This species has a very small range and a moderately small population, and is likely to be undergoing a continuing decline owing to forest loss and degradation due to logging and subsistence agriculture. However, it probably has more than ten locations, the population size does not meet the threshold for Vulnerable under the population size criterion and the largest subpopulation is unlikely to comprise 100% of the total population. For these reasons, the species is listed as Near Threatened.
