Anastraphia intertexta

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Anastraphia intertexta faces severe threats from coastal development and tourism infrastructure expansion across its limited range in the Bahamas. Hurricane damage and storm surge events pose additional risks to remaining populations, while invasive plant species compete for habitat resources. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized extinction events.
