The National Red List Project

Please note, this National Red List website contains a subset of data whilst we transition to national focal point driven data uploads. We thank you for your patience with this and welcome national contributors to get in touch to update their national dataset. Terms of Use including citation guidance are found here.

The previous dataset is available via: https://archive.nationalredlist.org/. This site is no longer updated but can help with most enquiries whilst we focus on redevelopment.

Assessment rationale/justification
Strict assessment of the data would suggest a status of EN under Criterion B2ab but numbers of records are very small. Given that the majority of the foodplant occurs in the north and west, as well as the species being missing from the standard identification reference of Benson (1958), a status of DD seems warranted, as the records are insufficient to say whether the species is threatened or not.
