It is a widespread species, common in mountainous regions. There is no data on the population trend of this species.

In Hungary the population size and trend have not been quantified; however, it is regarded as rare in the country (O. Merkl pers. comm. 2009). In Romania it is suspected that the population is declining (P. Istrate pers. comm. 2009). Not a rare species in France but never found in large numbers (less than five individuals in one year of sampling with ten traps in a site) (B. Dodelin pers. comm. 2009). In Italy it is common in the Alpine arch and there are two populations in central Italy. In the Czech Republic and Slovakia it is widespread and common in montane regions. In Ukraine it is considered rare.

Unknown

In central Europe, including Germany and Italy, there are no major threats to this species. In Hungary, virtually all localities are in protected areas, so no threatening factors exist. In Romania human activities inside old conifer forests can threaten the species.

There are no conservation measures needed. In Hungary the species occurs almost exclusively in protected areas.
