Population justification: The population is estimated to number 2,500-9,999 individuals based on an assessment of known records, descriptions of abundance and range size. This is consistent with recorded population density estimates for congeners or close relatives with a similar body size, and the fact that only a proportion of the estimated Extent of Occurrence is likely to be occupied. This estimate is equivalent to 1,667-6,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 1,500-7,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification: There are no new data on population trends; however, the species is suspected to be suffering a slow decline, owing to habitat degradation. Large-scale habitat modification has taken place within the Uxpanapa municipality which lies in the heart of the species's range (A. Townsend Peterson in litt. 2016). Evidence to quantify the extent of the species's declines may result in uplisting the species to a higher threat category.
