Conservation Status

[DD 3.1 2019]

This species is currently only known from two river systems in Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan. However, data on its distribution are largely lacking and it may be more widespread than currently known. Information on the population is also lacking. The current known localities are under threat from stream channelisation, water pollution and road construction. Further information is required to assess its extinction risk. Therefore, it is listed as Data Deficient.

This species has only been recorded from two river systems in Shizuoka Prefecture in the central part of Japan (Ministry of the Environment Japan 2015). Thus, it is considered to have a very narrow distribution range, but data on the distribution are still largely lacking and it may be more widespread.

Data from Watanabe et al. (2019)
