This species lives within a relatively wide range and there are at least 28 known sub-populations. There is no reason to suppose that the area of occupancy, extent of occurrence, number of locations, number of sub-populations or the number of mature individuals are declining or extremely fluctuating. Therefore, it is assessed as Least Concern (LC).

This species is endemic to south-eastern France. Distribution data are provided by Alzona (1971), Germain (1931), Gargominy and Ripken (2006) and the Inventaire National du Patrimoine Naturel (INPN) database. There are at least 28 distribution records and there is no reason to suppose that the area of occupancy (100 km²), extent of occurrence (6,200 km²) or the number of locations are declining or extremely fluctuating.

Within its range, this species does not seem to be rare. There are at least 28 known locations and there is no reason to suppose that the number of sub-populations or the number of mature individuals are declining or extremely fluctuating.

This is an obligate rock-dwelling species, associated with limestone areas. It is usually found on the bare rock surface, in crevices or at the base of rocks.

Due to its habitat preference, this species does not seem to be very sensitive to ecosystem modification or other realistic threats. Considering that this species inhabits inaccessible locations, drastic and wide-scale ecosystem modification is only a hypothetical threat and local events do not affect the whole population significantly.

This species is not protected at the national level in France. Some of its sub-populations live within protected areas however, such as in the National Park Alpes Maritimes. No conservation actions are currently required.
