. The number of mature individuals in the two populations is about 500, and they are close to human settlements, making them susceptible to anthropogenic disturbances. We have not found the species again in similar habitats during extensive investigations in the adjacent areas. Since the estimated number of mature individuals is about 500, the new species should be assessed as ‘ vulnerable’ (
