Population justification: The species appears to be very localised within its narrow elevational range, occurring at very low densities (Alves et al. 2008, ICMBio 2018). A recent census estimated less than 1,000 individuals (ICMBio 2018). Therefore, the population is here placed in the band 250-999 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable, as there is no evidence of declines and no obvious threats to the species and its habitat. Elfin forests within the range remain largely intact and are not at risk (Snow and Sharpe 2021); tree cover loss is negligible (<1% over three generations; Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein).
