Assessment Rationale:

This species is relatively widespread and there is no known major threat. It is therefore considered to be Least Concern (LC). 

Geographic Range:

This species is endemic to the island of Tenerife. It lives in the central part of the island always restricted to the fringe of the caldera.

Population:

The size and trend within the subpopulations are stable.

This species lives in the humid parts of the local pine forests (Pinar) and in Laurel forests (Laurisilva).

Major Threat(s):

Deforestation and fires can be a threat to this species locally. It is unlikely that a threat would affect the whole range or population of this species.
