Local name: smal öronvivel

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Simo hirticornis faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized wetland environments, particularly through drainage and agricultural conversion of marshy areas. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture regimes essential for this species' survival, while pollution from agricultural runoff degrades the water quality of its breeding habitats.
