This species has been found in only two close locations at a single locality, both outside protected areas and within private properties where cattle is raised. Vegetation on inselbergs is naturally fragmented, and this fragmentation may be intensified by grazing. On the other hand, rock outcrops usually do not attract much agricultural interest, and consequently, they have frequently been preserved from human impact and have kept their refugial character (
