IUCN red list status.

NE.

National red list status.

DD. Although the global distribution area is large and no threats or population changes have ever been reported, an evaluation of the species status in Georgia is not confidently possible due to a lack of data. Unlike expextation, AOO and EOO in Georgia are 21.175 km2 and 180 km2 respectively, and therefore it can be considered "Data Deficient" locally.
