Population justification: Given its limited distribution, the population was previously thought unlikely to exceed 10,000 individuals, and placed in the range 2,500-9,999 individuals (roughly equivalent to 1,500-7,000 mature individuals). Given the continued discovery of this species from new localities, the population may be larger than previously thought, and so is now placed in the range 2,500-9,999 mature individuals.

Trend justification: Data are lacking on the population size and trend, but there is no clear evidence of any current active threats to populations at known sites.
