Because this species is located in a hotspot and due to its low occurrence, we must also consider the devastation of extensive areas of native vegetation. Thus, considered to be vulnerable.
Geographic range
Population and Trends
Little found, only in the state of São Paulo, in Brazilian territory, it can be considered rare and under threat.

Threats
Species is found in areas that suffer from anthropic action, activities such as mining, land use change and farming can affect the population of this species.
Conservation Actions
You need conservation actions for being part of a hotspot.
Research needed
Use and Trade
