Assessment rationale/justification
Within the UAE, the species has been recorded from dam and water storage sites in the north-east of the UAE (Böer and Chaudhary 1999). Whilst it is known from other countries in the Arabian Peninsula, the draft Red List assessment of this species for the Arabian Peninsula (A. Patzelt and S.G. Knees) does not list the UAE in its distribution, and the origin of the species in the UAE requires confirmation, given its presence at anthropogenic sites. In addition, there is no information on population size or trend and the continued presence of the species at the known sites, as well as occurrence elsewhere in the country, requires further research. As a result, the species is assessed as Data Deficient.
