Assessment Information [top]

Red List Category & Criteria:

Least Concern ver 3.1

Justification:
Listed as Least Concern since, although its Extent of Occurrence is probably less than 20,000 km2, it occurs in an area of extensive, suitable habitat which appears not to be under significant threat, it has a presumed large population, and it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.

History:

Least Concern

Conservation Actions [top]

Conservation Actions:	Studies about the biology, ecology, and population range and dynamics of this species are necessary to determine the direct conservation measures for it. This species was originally reported to have been collected in Chiribiquete National Park, however this protected area is not in Vaupes Department, and it is unclear as to whether or not the species occurs in this protected area.
