Assessment Rationale:

There are two known locations and the area of occupancy is smaller than 10 km2. There are no population or threat data available, and more research on population trends and on distribution range is needed. It seems to be a rare species with a restricted range, and therefore it is assessed as Near Threatened (NT). If data were available indicating a continuing decline in population size, distribution or habitat quality, this species would qualify as Endangered under Criterion B.

Geographic Range:

This species is endemic to the island of La Gomera, where it is known from Hermigua and Mancha Yerba.
