This paper is a revision of the distribution of this endemic species in Sardinia, based on both literature and unpublished records, and focused to assess the conservation status of its populations. Two sampling sites were selected for a comparative analysis: in the mountain site, a population density twenty times higher than that found at sea level site was estimated. Underestimation is possible due to the elusivity of this species which usually occurs in rocky habitats where observation is difficult. Some conservation actions were proposed.
