Assessment Rationale:

The species has an extremely restricted area of occupancy (4 km2) and is known from only one location. No threats to the species are known, and the entire distribution is under local conservation schemes. There is no information on population trend. It is therefore considered as Near Threatened (NT). If there was evidence to suggest a continuing decline, the species would qualify as Critically Endangered under Criterion B, so vigilance is needed.
