| State Ranking Justification | [-] |
There is one record from 1984 which has not been resurveyed and there is no detailed information about its condition. There is another recent record from the Catskills. There are 12 additional historical occurrences from the Adirondacks and Catskills which need to be checked.
| Short-term Trends | [-] |
Short-term trends are unknown because there has not been recent survey work to determine the present status of the species.
| Long-term Trends | [-] |
This species has recently been put on the active list and there have not been enough surveys of historical records to determine trends. The species is restricted to the higher elevations of the Adirondacks and Catskills, so its distribution is limited, but it may still be common in those habitats.
