A gap in the data is making this species appear vulnerable, when there is no indication that this is the case. Gaps in the taxonomic record do not represent real gaps and likely reflect a lack of collection effort. This species is likely more widespread and prevalent in the territory (see occurrences). Therefore this species is unlikely to be vulnerable. Despite limited records, this species could be more widespread prevalent in the territory than records would suggest (see occurrences). Nonetheless, given gaps in the data and information known about the species in the Northwest Territories, a conservative assessment would put this species at secure to apparently secure, since although there is no indication that this species is under any threat, it is possible.
