Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Fynbos, Succulent Karoo |

Threats |
| Parts of this species' habitat has been lost to crop fields, but only a small proportion (<5%) has thus far been irreversibly modified. It is also possibly threatened by overgrazing around Nieuwoudtville and on the Roggeveld Escarpment. |
Population |
This species is locally common. When first described, it was known from only a small area east of Nieuwoudtville (Manning and Goldblatt 2001), however, further research revealed it to be much more widespread and common (Cron 2013).
