IUCN Status
Not Evaluated - Not yet been evaluated against the criteria.
The IUCN Red List assessments presented here may deviate from the global IUCN listings for the following reasons:
- for well-known species groups, such as vascular plants or vertebrates, updates proposed to the IUCN are shown, rather than the outdated, but currently-used status;
- for poorly-known species groups, such as lichenized fungi, a general assessment is not currently possible, therefore the list presented here is the regional IUCN Red List for the Galapagos Archipelago.
Distribution
Regions: Santa Cruz, Santa Fé.

Please be aware that this distribution map is automatically generated from database records (CDF and external specimens, literature records, and observations) and may not accurately reflect the currently-known distribution for all species.
