It is endemic to Robinson Crusoe Island in the Pacific, part of the Republic of Chile.[2] It is threatened by habitat loss.[1] It is a dominant species in its habitat of lowland dry forests and lower montane forests.[1] Its extent has declined through the effects of feral animals, introduced weeds, and soil erosion to a preliminary estimate of less than 100 km2.[1]
