Assessment rationale/justification
Despite appearing to have a relatively restricted distribution within the UAE, this is based on unconfirmed records. More information is needed on this species' distribution within the UAE, in addition to the threats it faces and its population size and trends, before its extinction risk can be accurately assessed. Therefore, it is currently considered to be Data Deficient.
