Assessment Information [top]

Red List Category & Criteria:	Least Concern ver 3.1
Year Published:	2011
Assessor/s:	Falkner, M., von Proschwitz, T. & Rüetschi, J.
Reviewer/s:	Bilz, M., Cuttelod, A. & Neubert, E.

Justification: The species is classified as Least Concern (LC), although there is no up-to-date information on the current distribution and number of sites. There are 50 historic findings, and Italy is the main area of distribution. From there, no number of sites is available, but there is no information on any threads to this species known from this country. More research on the population distribution and trend are needed to make an informed assessment. This species has also been assessed at the regional level: European regional assessment: Least Concern (LC) EU27 regional assessment: Least Concern (LC) at the level of the 27 member States of the European Union

Geographic Range [top]

Range Description:	This species is endemic to Europe and is native to Germany, Italy, Austria, Slovenia. There are around 50 occurrences recorded in those countries all of them quite small but some of those recordings are museum data from several decades ago. But there is no information on the actual number of sites. Taking into account that there might be more sites not found yet, it is still safe to say that the species has an area of occupancy of less than 2,000 km².
Countries:	Native: Austria; Germany; Italy (Italy (mainland)); Slovenia

Population [top]

Population:	The species is difficult to find and field surveys only reveal a few individuals. Therefore there is hardly any population information available.There are three to four currently known sites in Germany. The main distribution of the species is in Italy and there is no information for this country. In Slovenia, it is found in the western part only near the Italian border.
Population Trend:	Unknown

Habitat and Ecology [top]

Habitat and Ecology:	It is found in leaf litter in montane forests.
Systems:	Terrestrial

Threats [top]

Major Threat(s):	Forest management is the main threat especially heavy machinery that is compacting the soil or the logging of trees causes sunlight to dry out the humid soil that the species requires. Often clearing up of the litter is another practise that threatens the populations.
