Population justification: There have been no reliable sightings of this species for the last 20 years (M. Mills in litt. 2020), and as such the population size of this species is now unknown.

Trend justification: The species's population is suspected to be declining in line with the clearance and degradation of lowland rainforest in eastern Madagascar. The likely rate of decline, however, has not been estimated.
