Conservation status

Vulnerable ( VU): C 1. Currently under protection, category 3 ( Belov 2019).

EOO 43,300 km 2, AOO 68 km 2. The species has been placed under legal protection because of its rarity on the northern margin of the species distribution, because its population size was estimated at less than 1000 mature individuals and because its populations were threatened by grazing. Its currently known distribution is much more extensive than previously believed ( Belov 2019) and its habitats (saline lands) are not threatened by human activities. For these reasons, we suggest that its current protection status is inappropriate and should be changed to Least Concern.

Distribution

Orenburg Region: Akbulak, Belyaevka, Dombarovka, Gai, Novoorsk, Sol' - Iletsk, Svetlyi, Yasnyi Districts, Orsk Town (Fig. 69 View Figure 69 ).

The species occurs in petrophytic steppes, on saline linds. It has a limited distribution in the Region.

The species is distributed in Eastern Europe (south-eastern part), the Caucasus (Azerbaijan), south-western Siberia, Kazakhstan, western China (Xinjiang), western Mongolia.
