Distribution: Sistan basin ( Fig. 160). Reported from Hirmand River. Its distribution in Iran needs confirmation.
Taxonomy: Rafique (2000) placed in Schizopygopsis .
Conservation: IUCN: Not Evaluated, PC: Data Deficient. This species is distributed in Tibet, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In Iran we have not found any reliable report of it and we have not seen any single sample in more than ten years of field work. There is few available information about the distribution and the conservation status of the populations in the other countries also. Hence, we believe the available data is not enough to objectively assess this species conservation status.
