Justification:
This species has a relatively wide range, although the full extent of its range is not yet confirmed. Water quality across the region is declining through pollution, but there are no data on population size or trends for this species. It may be declining, but this has to be confirmed. More research is necessary to be able to determine its extinction risk. Assessed as Data Deficient.
