Native status

Native.

Conservation status

Data Deficient ( DD).

EOO 2,000 km 2, AOO 12 km 2. This species seems to be commonly overlooked by collectors. We agree with previous estimations ( Ryabinina 1998, Knjazev 2009) that its actual occurrence should be much broader. For this reason, a threatened category has not been assigned.

Distribution

Orenburg Region: Buzuluk, Sorochinsk Districts, Orenburg City (Fig. 20 ).

Previous records: Ryabinina (1998), Knjazev (2009), as C. strictum and C. striatiforme .

The species occurs on sands, along riversides and waterbodies, also in human-disturbed sites. It seems to occur sporadically in the region, mostly overlooked by collectors. Knjazev (2009) reported its occurrence in all districts of Orenburg Region.

The species is distributed in temperate Eurasia (eastwards to West Siberia).
