Assessment rationale/justification
In the UAE, the species is recorded from the Ru'us al-Jibal from c.1,100 to c. 1,800 m elevation (Feulner 2011). This species occurs within a restricted range in the UAE: the estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is approximately 546 km<sup>2</sup>. The area of occupancy (AOO) is likely to be similarly restricted. In addition, it is only found at high altitudes within this area and is considered to generally be rare. This species' habitat is experiencing ongoing decline due to development and grazing, however, the number of threat-based locations is unclear. Therefore, it is assessed as Near Threatened as a precaution, based on its restricted distribution and habitat availability in order to highlight threats or declines to this species. No regional adjustment is made to the assessment.
