National Status |
Status and Criteria | Data Deficient - Taxonomically Problematic |
Assessment Date | 2015/06/02 |
Assessor(s) | D. Raimondo |
Justification | The genus Antimima is in need of revision and the delimitation of species is very poor, so that confident estimates of the range size and abundance of species cannot be made. Lacking such data, its risk of extinction cannot be assessed. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Northern Cape |
Range | Richtersveld. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Major habitats | Succulent Karoo |
Description | Gravelly or rocky slopes. |
Threats |
| Likely to be threatened by livestock grazing. |
Population |
Known from the type collection south east of Jakkalswater near Steinkopf, but possibly occurs more widely in the Richtersveld. Without a taxonomic revision, specimens cannot be identified with confidence, and it may therefore be overlooked.
