Justification of Red List category
This species is listed as Vulnerable because it has a small range in which its habitat is severely fragmented and declining in extent and quality, which in turn is suspected to be driving a decline in its small population. Confirmation that the area of suitable habitat totals less than 400 km² would likely make the species eligible for uplisting.

Population trend: Decreasing
