Assessment rationale/justification
Previously known only from a record by A.R. Western, the species was recently refound at a single site in Fujairah Emirate (D. Aplin pers. comm. 2020). Although the area of occupancy (4 km<sup>2</sup>) is restricted and it occurs at a single location based on potential threats, data are lacking on habitat, distribution (AOO and EOO), and the population size and trends, and the species is considered Data Deficient Research is required to confirm the distribution of the species in the UAE, including review of the western locality, and conservation actions are required.
