Assessment rationale/justification
The species was previously known from a small number of confirmed records in the eastern UAE, from the southern Hajar Mountains. However, the species appears to be expanding its range northwards, perhaps partly due to its apparent ability to colonise silt behind dams (G.R. Feulner pers. comm. 2019). It has been recently confirmed from Tennis Club Dam, Fujairah (G.R. Feulner pers. comm. 2019) and from disturbed areas in Wadi Hala, southeast of Shawkah (D. Aplin pers. comm. 2019, i.d. G.R. Feulner), and the species is assessed as Least Concern.
