Assessment Notes

Justification

Information regarding the present distribution of this species, its habitat preferences, and potential threats appears to be lacking. The type specimen of this species was collected in Papua new Guinea, as described in Kobayashi 1971, however no information is available regarding any present day populations, making an assessment of the current population trends of this species difficult. Until further research is carried out in order to address these data deficiencies, this species is listed as DD.


Taxonomic notes


Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?

Chanterelle species


Geographic range

The type specimen of this species was located in Papua New Guinea (Kobayashi 1971). No further information appears to be known regarding the geographic location of this species.


Population and Trends

Information regarding the distribution and population status of this species is heavily deficient. Without much further research, the current status of this species’ wild populations is uncertain.

Population Trend: Uncertain


Habitat and Ecology

Data regarding the habitat preferences and ecology of this species appears to be entirely lacking.


Threats

Because the exact locality of this species cannot be determined without further research, and because its habitat is unknown, no threats can be reasonably assigned to this species at this time.


Conservation Actions

Without further research regarding the distribution and current population status of this species, no conservation action can be recommended.


Research needed

Much research is needed in order to determine this species’ habitat preferences, the distribution of its wild populations, and whether it is significantly threatened in its native range, in order to accurately classify this species.
