Justification of Red List category
Rapid declines at one site, and a suite of threats that could impact the population as a whole suggest that the species is overall declining at a rate that is at least moderately rapid. Thus the species is listed here as Near Threatened, but future surveys could show that the species is declining at an even greater rate.
