Population justification: The population size of this species has not been quantified, but it is described as locally fairly common to common in the two known localities (P. Gregory in litt. 1994, K. D. Bishop in litt. 1996, Eastwood 1998, B. Whitney in litt. 2000, Beehler and Pratt 2016).

Trend justification: The species is common in the known localities and its habitat is not thought to be under threat (Beehler and Pratt 2016); thus the population is suspected to be stable.
