Rationale
(Changed due to Same category and criteria)
Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, its tolerance of a broad range of habitats and its presumed large population.
Distribution
This species ranges from southwestern Angola, through northern Namibia and Botswana, to southern Zimbabwe, northern South Africa, Swaziland, and southern Mozambique. It occurs from sea level to 1,500 m asl. It is indistinguishable morphologically from Tomopterna cryptotis and T. tandyi, but it has a distinct call. Records based on morphology might be assigned to the wrong species.
