The National Red List Project

Please note, this National Red List website contains a subset of data whilst we transition to national focal point driven data uploads. We thank you for your patience with this and welcome national contributors to get in touch to update their national dataset. Terms of Use including citation guidance are found here.

The previous dataset is available via: https://archive.nationalredlist.org/. This site is no longer updated but can help with most enquiries whilst we focus on redevelopment.

Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
This species is recorded for the UAE by the draft Red Data Book (MEW 2010), however no distribution data has been found. G.R. Feulner has not recorded the species for the UAE (pers. comm. 2019). This species has been considered to be restricted to the mountain areas in northern Oman, where it is found in the Western and Eastern Hajar Mountains (Huber-Morath 1984, Patzelt 2014), however, according to S. Ghazanfar (pers. comm. 2019), the species is found in northern Oman, on the mountains, on rocky slopes and mountain sides, amongst rocks, and in crevices, from 400 to 1,800 m elevation, and extends into the UAE.
