Justification | Zaluzianskya regalis is a range-restricted species, with an extent of occurrence (EOO) of 84 km². It is locally common, but a localized habitat specialist. It has no severe threats and is therefore not suspected to be in danger of extinction. It is therefore listed under the IUCN 3.1 Criteria, globally, as Least Concern but is nationally categorised as Rare. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |

Threats |
| There are no severe threats to Zaluzianskya regalis. Historically, a small proportion (less than 10%) of this species' habitat was ploughed for crop fields. The area is however only marginally suited to crop cultivation, and land cover data show no significant agricultural expansion over the past 30 years. |
