Justification: Listed as Least Concern because, although it is currently only known from a very restricted area, it seems likely that the species will occur more widely. Within its known range, it is common and does not appear to be in decline. |
|
| Range Description: | This species has only been recorded from the Sierra Madre del Sur in Central Guerrero State, Mexico. It possibly occurs more widely than is currently known, especially as sampling within the species range has only taken place close to roads. It has an elevational range of 1,500 to 2,500 m asl. |
