Justification:
This species is endemic to the Seychelles island of Mahe.
This species is known from a single specimen collected in in 1892. Searches for the species have been carried out in potentially suitable habitat and no individuals have been located. If it does survive it is thought to be restricted to a single location of high quality forest, with an estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) and area of occupancy (AOO) of 20 km2. This habitat is deteriorating due to the impacts of invasive plant species and climate change. Therefore, this species is assessed as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct).
