JUSTIFICATION
Listed as Least Concern as the species is locally common and abundant, and occurs in very degraded habitats in central Myanmar. There are no current major threats to the species.
RANGE DESCRIPTION
This species is endemic to central Myanmar (Ellerman 1961, Musser and Carleton 2005). It was recorded recently at Mt. Popa near the type locality of Pagan, but was absent from surrounding areas (Musser and Carleton 2005).
DESCRIPTION
It is suspected to be locally common in the central dry zone of Myanmar (Musser and Carleton 2005).
HABITAT AND ECOLOGY
It occurs in sandy plain area with degraded, scrubby vegetation.
THREATS
There are no major threats to this species, as although the habitat of this species is heavily degraded, this does not seem to have had a major impact on the species and may even have had a beneficial effect in expanding its range.
CONSERVATION ACTIONS
Mt. Popa is designated a protected area, although the species probably only occurs on the lower slopes of this mountain. |
