Justification of Red List category

This species is poorly-known and is known to science only from two specimens, collected in 1882. Based on reports from local people, it is believed to remain extant, but it may have a very small population. It is inferred to be declining based on a decline in the extent of its forest habitat. It is therefore classified as Critically Endangered.

Population size: 50-249 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 1,700 km²

Country endemic: yes
