Assessment Rationale:

This species is restricted to Tenerife (extent of occurrence of 35 km2), where it is known from 8 sites, representing 3 locations. However, it lives in a low density population area, and even though there is some low level of disturbance, it is unlikely to threaten this species at the moment. It is therefore considered as Near Threatened (NT), almost meeting criteria B.
