Conservation:
IUCN
– Vulnerable.
Discussion:
A morphometric study by
Sokolov and Shenbrot (1988)
indicated that the
Kazakhstan
population falls within the range of intraspecific variation for
C. paradoxus
, and is not a separate species as was suggested by
Gromov and Baranova (1981)
. For detailed habitat data see
Naumov and Lobachev (1975)
