Threats
Conservation Actions
Research needed
This species should be highlighted and searched for in alpine areas of the world. The locality in Spain should be revisited to review its status. Sequence data should be generated from the 1992 Spanish sample or from new material and compared with the Indian sequnces to investigate conspecificity.
