Justification of Red List category
Although this species may have a restricted range, it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size may be small, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Population justification
The total population has been estimated at a few thousand or less (Diamond in litt. 1982), and is placed in the band 2,500-9,999 individuals. This equates to 1,667-6,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 1,500-7,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification
This population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.

This species is endemic to the Foya Mountains north of the Idenburg River in northern Irian Jaya, Indonesia.

The species occurs between 1,000 and 2,000 m (Diamond 1982, Beehler et al. 1986, Stattersfield et al. 1998).

The Foya Mountains are uninhabited, and with no record of any human encroachment before 1979 (Diamond 1982, Diamond 1985), they are presumed to be largely secure. In addition, they are entirely encompassed within the huge (10,000 km2) Foya Nature Reserve (Sujatnika et al. 1995).
