Justification of Red List category
This species has a very small population size restricted to a single subpopulation. There is much uncertainty surrounding the species due to a lack of recent records, however available data are indicative of a decline in at least one locality since 1984 and this is likely to be continuing given the likely ongoing threats. It is therefore assessed as Endangered.

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 72 km²
