Rank Reasons
G3? was selected because of the old-growth association of this species. If enough old-growth/late-successional habitat is preserved, perhaps this could be a G4.
Range Extent Comments
Known only from CA, OR and WA, in and west of the Cascade Range. More common in WA and OR, uncommon in northern CA.
