Taxonomy.

Conservation: IUCN: Not Evaluated, PC: Vulnerable B2ab(i,ii,iii). This species is endemic to Iran. Pollution and water extraction are the major threats effecting this species. The drought in the distribution range of this species caused, fragmenting the population. We estimated AOO of less than 500 km 2, and EOO of less than 10,000 km 2. Therefore, we classified it as Vulnerable.
