Conservation status
Currently, the new species is only known from a single location. We have
located 45 mature individuals during the field surveys in the study area
which covers an area of 3 km2. The investigation has
not been through enough to fully decipher species distribution. As a
result, it is classified as Data Deficient (DD) here, according to the
IUCN Red List Categories version 14 (2019 However, more extensive
research in similar habitats and microenvironments in neighboring places
is needed to determine the distribution range in other parts of the
region and establish a better understanding of its population size, area
of occupancy, and range of occurrence.
