| Reason: This species is currently G4, but may be better suited as G3 (calculated by Purdy). It occurs in disjunct wetland habitats in SE NM, and is relatively rare in the state, though population numbers need to be assessed. Threats are presumed to be high (climate change, invasive plants, agriculture, potentially altered hydrological use), but need to be assessed. |
