Assessment rationale/justification
IUCN lists as present in only 3 forests in Uganda but WCS records show presence also in EA1-3. The records from Kyulu Hills in Kenya are possibly not this species and therefore is endemic and likely to be threatened globally. AOO from 3 forests nominally 597km2 but in fact much less due to degradation and continuing decline expected due to habitat loss in most of remaining forest areas. However recent record in EA2 may show that this species is more widespread in Uganda (though scarce) and persists outside PA's where any remaining wetlands are under severe pressure.
