Rank Reviewed: N/A
Reason: This species has only been collected one time which was in 1946 and it has not been collected or identified anywhere since then. As a result, it is unclear whether this species is even still extent however, it is unlikely that many surveys have occurred for it since 1946. Furthermore, it is unknown whether the type locality has been resurveyed. The threats and life history to this species are also unknown although the rapid warming and drying of the southwestern United States has negatively effected many other Perdita species. As a result, this poorly known species is currently assessed as S1 in New Mexico. However, a reassessment should be done if more information becomes available.
