Percentage in largest subpopulation 1-89 - - -
Generation length (years) 4.6 - - -

Population justification: The National Red List of Brazil (MMA 2014) estimated that the population numbers no more than 10,000 mature individuals. The population is therefore placed in the band of 2,500-9,999 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction.
