Justification

This species is reported to be very common in Hong Kong (Karsen et al. 1986, Romer 1950).

Stable

This species is likely to be experiencing ongoing habitat loss and degradation due to threats including expansion of agricultural land, grazing, and logging. However, these may not be major threats as this species is relatively wide-ranging and significant areas of habitat remain.

There are no direct conservation measures for this species in place or needed at the present time. It occurs in many protected areas including Shenzhen Wutongshan National Forest Park (Fellowes et al. 2002).
