Assessment rationale/justification
Only three records of this species have been found for the UAE. An isotype specimen was collected in 1844 in the UAE (locality not known, but assumed to be the Hajar Mountains). A second record, from the Hatta region, is from 1986. The final, most recent, record from 2004-5 is from Qurayyah on the east coast in Fujairah, and is assumed to have been destroyed by development. Confirmation of the continued presence, distribution and population status of this species is needed, and at present it is assessed as Data Deficient.
