Assessment Rationale:

Listed as Least Concern because, although it has a restricted distribution, it is nearly present in all the islands of the Canary Island archipelago and the species is relatively common and abundant. However there is no information regarding the habitat, ecological requirements and threats to this species, so further research is needed.

Geographic Range:

This species is endemic to the Canary Islands, and is present in nearly all the islands of the Canary Island archipelago (Dathe 1993).

Population:

A relatively frequent and common species, found in many collections. Populations are not small, but there is no information available on the population trend of this species.
