Comment:
Status: IUCN - Vulnerable
Comment:
Comments: Listed as a subspecies of S. microphthalmus by Corbet (1978c) and included in S. giganteus by Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987), but elevated to species by Topachevskii (1969) and recognized as such by Lyapunova et al. (1974), Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1998), and Pavlinov et al. (1995a). Topachevskii (1969) viewed the restricted geographic range of S. arenarius as relictual. Chromosomal traits (2n = 62, FN = 124) documented by Lyapunova et al. (1974). Reviewed by Gromov and Erbajeva (1995)
