Justification of Red List category
This species is listed as Endangered precautionarily due to fears it may have a very small population size, comprising fewer than 250 mature individuals, given its confinement to less than 1,000 km² of forest. Should it prove to be more abundant than documented here, it may not be as at high a risk of extinction as feared; however, should it prove to be declining, it may even qualify as Critically Endangered. Future research should endeavour to answer these questions urgently.
