Justification:
This species was previously thought to be Extinct. However, since 1996 it has been collected from five forested stream localities near the town of Marolambo, Madagascar, where it is well known to local residents. In view of its apparently restricted current range it is likely to qualify as Vulnerable. However, considerably more collections are required to confirm the restricted distribution of the species and additional data are required to evaluate any additional threats to its habitat or threats directly impacting the population. This species has to be assessed as Data Deficient.
