Assessment rationale/justification
The estimated rate of change in range over the last 10 years does not exceed the 30% decline required for qualification against Criterion A. Both EOO and AOO are qualifyingly small and with two locations the species might qualify as EN under Criterion B, but there is no evidence of population fragmentation, fluctuation or continuing decline. There is no information on population size to assess against Criteria C and D1 and no life history models to inform assessments against Criterion E. The small number of locations might qualify the species as VU under D2, but there is no plausible threat which could affect the population sufficiently to drive it to CR in a short period of time. Hence, no threatened status can be justified, but Near Threatened is assigned in recognition of the species nearly qualifying for EN under B1a and B2a, and nearly qualifying for VU under D2.
