Although this endemic South African species seems to be not very widespread, it is not likely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a threatened or Near Threatened category. It is assessed as Least Concern.
Distribution
This species is endemic to South Africa. It occurs in the Highveld grasslands.
No information available but research into population numbers and range, biology and ecology, habitat status, threats, and trends/monitoring of this species would be valuable.
