Justification | EOO<2500 km², known from seven locations, but at least five more locations likely as this is a poorly explored area with much intact habitat. We estimate that fewer than 15 locations exist. Subpopulations are declining in some areas due to livestock trampling and habitat loss to wheat cultivation. |
