Justification: This species is known only from a single locality in Afghanistan 80 years ago. It is listed here as Data Deficient in view of the absence of further information on its extent of occurrence, ecological requirements, population size, population trends, and long-term threats. |
|
| Range Description: | Afghanistan: This species is known only from the type specimen from Rud. There have been no records in over 80 years, but this is probably largely due to a lack of collection efforts and long-term taxonomic problems which until recently have made it difficult to identify freshwater crabs species from many parts of Asia. |
