Assessment rationale/justification
This species is apparently known from few records in the UAE, including Sweihan (Al-Ain region), Bu Hasa to the west in Abu Dhabi Emirate, and from Abu Dhabi Island, which is presumably now lost due to development. This species can be confused with other species in the genus and is probably under-recorded, and perhaps has a much wider distribution in the deserts of western and central Abu Dhabi Emirate, given its occurrence in the eastern parts of Saudi Arabia (Mandaville 1990). Research is required to understand the distribution of this species in the UAE, as well as its population size and trend. At present, it is considered Data Deficient.
