Justification
Sclerodon sajanensis was described from Siberia in 1904 and there have been no more records or documentation on it since. A taxonomic review is needed and the species is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).
Taxonomic notes
This is the only remaining species is the
Sclerodon genus, as a result of the transfer of other species in this taxon to the genus
Gloiodon.
Geographic range
This species has been recorded in Siberia (Karsten 1904).
Population and Trends
Sclerodon sajanensis has only been recorded once in 1902 (Karsten 1904). Since there is no more available information on this species, it is not possible to estimate the population size.
Population Trend: Unknown
Habitat and Ecology
It was found growing on wood of leafy trees (Karsten 1904).
Threats
Threats are unknown.
Conservation Actions
Research into its distribution and ecology is needed to estimate the current population size, and taxonomic reviewing is recommended to confirm its placement in the
Sclerodon genus.
