Assessment rationale/justification
This species is widely but thinly distributed in the Sal and mixed evergreen forests of the country (Khan 1987, 2015). Its EOO and AOO are much larger than the threshold level. As it is a forest dwelling species, its habitat is continuously shrinking and being degraded due to faulty forestry policies, practices and lumber poaching. On these bases, it has been assessed as Near Threatened.
