L. Méhely in 1909 based his description on multiple fragmentary archaeological specimens. He designated twelve syntypes from five different localities, and no one has subsequently designated a lectotype or otherwise restricted the type locality. Consequently, the type locality encompasses the place of origin of all syntypes in accordance with Article 73.2.3 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature until a lectotype is designated.

Not assessed on The IUCN Red List. G. Csorba and colleagues in 2015 argued that Mehelys Blind Mole-rat should be ranked as endangered. Its extent of occurrence and habitat quality are predicted to decline over the next ten years, its area of occupancy is less than 500 km? and it is known to exist in no more than five locations. Four locations where it is present are partly protected. Mehelys Blind Mole-rat was once more common in the vast grasslands of the Carpathian basin, but this habitat was first converted to pasture and, more recently, to intensive modern agriculture and urbanized landscapes.
