| State Ranking Justification | [-] |
Since the potential habitat is widespread in southeastern New York, and since the species probably spends most of its time in the canopy, it is probably much less rare than records indicate. Nevertheless, the habitat is spotty in heavily developed southeastern mainland New York, although the species could be more widespread on outer Long Island.

The long-term trends are unknown.
