Population [top]
Population: In China this species was formerly common, but it is now rare. There has been a population decline estimated to be more than 30% over the last three generations, inferred from over-collecting and information on habitat destruction and degradation. However Bourret (1942) found the species to be rather common at Sa Pa in Viet Nam. Recent (late 1990s) records are available from two sites in Lao Peoples Democratic Republic (Stuart 1999) and two sites in Viet Nam (S. Swan pers. comm.). It is considered to be rare in Arunachal Pradesh based on collections made up until 1993 (Sarkar and Ray 2006).Where it has been collected recently in Southeast Asia it has been common (S. Swan pers. comm. and B. Stuart pers. comm.).
Current Population Trend: Unknown
Additional data:
? Population severely fragmented: No
