Assessment Notes

Taxonomic notes


Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?

A characteristic species of open sandy surfaces in the Pannonian steppe in Central Hungary. Known from < 10 localities (EOO 2000 km2; AOO 32 km2). Most localities now protected by law (National Park) but a considerable historical habitat loss due to changing land use turning the steppe landscap into arable land has had a negative influence on its population. Potentially overlooked in steppe habitats that are currently unprotected.
Current population trend unknown.
Suggested: VU (A, D)

 


Geographic range

Known from < 10 localities in a resticted area in Central Hungary.


Population and Trends

Known from < 10 localities in Central Hungary.
EOO: 1700 km2
AOO: 32 km2

Estimated number of localities: 50
Number of mature individuals: 1000

A majority of records from within the Kiskunsági National Park. Considerable historical habitat loss due to changing land use turning steppe into arable land. It is however potentially overlooked in steppe habitats not currently under protection.

Population Trend: Decreasing


Habitat and Ecology

Saprotrophic species of the Pannonian sand steppe vegetation. Fruitbodies appear in open sandy patches in areas with a scanty vegetation of steppe grasses and Juniperus communis.


Threats

Historical decrease of its population due to changing land use (abandoned grazing, transformation into arable land.). A majority of the currently known occurrences within a national park and are thus protected.


Conservation Actions

Regular monitoring.
New localities should be considered for protective actions.


Research needed


Use and Trade

None
