Taxonomy.

Conservation: IUCN: Not Evaluated, PC: Least Concern. A. idignensis has a relatively large distribution range and there is no known widespread threat affecting it. Apart from the large distribution range, this species is generally abundant to very abundant in many parts of its range. While there are several threats, it is only impacted moderately and very locally. Hence, we classified it as Least Concern due to the reasons listed above.
