Justification: A restricted range species only known from Lake Trichonis (estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) <100 km²). The lake is treated as a single location on the basis of the lake wide impact of land reclamation and lake level fluctuations which effect the entire population as it only reproduces in the shallow water habitats, which are being lost. |
