Justification of Red List category
This species has a small range, confined to the southern Western Ghats in south-west India. Within its range there is ongoing degradation of habitat, although this is occurring at only a slow rate, and the species remains relatively common at numerous sites. It is therefore listed as Near Threatened. Climate change has been identified as a key threat to this species in the future, and the impacts of this will need to be closely monitored.
