This species is endemic to the north of Spain, being limited to the central part of the Cantabrian Mountains, from Asturias and León in the west to Bizkaia and Álava in the east. This species has a restricted geographic range, but  it does not meet either population decline or range decline criteria. If land-use management changed significantly within the natural habitat of hills and mountains, and range decline was observed then the species could possibly meet the criteria for a threatened category. This species is listed as Least Concern.

This species is endemic to the north of Spain, being limited to the central part of the Cantabrian Mountains, from Asturias and León in the west to Bizkaia and Álava in the east. This species is mainly present in the north slope of the Cantabrian system.

There are no population studies, but the population trend is assumed to be stable.

It is found in soil with limestone substrate, under stones and dead leaves, as well as within rock crevices. In humid places it can be observed on the vertical wall surface.

There are no main disturbances to this species, apart from quarries, which have locally severe impacts.

This species is not used or traded.

Conservation actions should be focused on habitat preservation. Population size and biology of the species have not been studied, and research on these aspects would be necessary, as well as a better estimation of the area of occupancy (AOO).

It occurs in Natura 2000 sites, a national park and some local reserves.
