Population justification: Uncommon within a very small range, so placed in the band 1,000-2,499 mature individuals. This equates to 1,500-3,749 individuals in total, rounded here to 1,500-4,000 individuals. The estimate is provisional and requires confirmation.

Trend justification: Although the status of this species is very poorly known, it is thought that a slow decline may be occurring, owing to habitat degradation and trapping within its likely range (S. Mahood in litt. 2018).
