is currently known only from two locations, Puding County and Wangmo County (Guizhou Province, China) with a combined population estimated at 100 individuals, and an area of occupancy (AOO) of &lt;500 kilometers. Within this species known range the populations are severely fragmented and occupy a vegetation association in decline; we therefore propose to treat it as [EN B2ab(iii); D] in accordance to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria version 13 (IUCN Standards and Petitions Subcommittee 2017).
