Taxonomy.

Conservation: IUCN: Not Evaluated, PC: Least Concern. This species is widespread in its distribution range. It occurs in more than five independent populations and is not thought to have declined (or will decline) fast enough to qualify for Near Threatened or another threat category. We therefore classified it as Least Concern.
