This species is endemic to the northwestern part of the island of Tenerife. It is recorded from seven locations and seven sites. Potential threats to this species are destruction of the habitat by quarrying, urbanisation, road construction and agriculture. The lowland habitats which can potentially be colonised by this species are rare in its distribution area. Thus this species is assessed as Vulnerable (VU), as the anthropogenic activities are increasing.
