List of near threatened arthropods

As of July 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 390 near threatened arthropod species.[1] 4.1% of all evaluated arthropod species are listed as near threatened. The IUCN also lists six arthropod subspecies as near threatened.

Arthropod species (IUCN, 2016-2)
  • 9470 extant species have been evaluated
  • 6580 of those are fully assessed[lower-alpha 1]
  • 4478 are not threatened at present[lower-alpha 2]
  • 2100 to 4990 are threatened[lower-alpha 3]
  • 83 to 169 are extinct or extinct in the wild:
    • 81 extinct (EX) species[lower-alpha 4]
    • 2 extinct in the wild (EW)
    • 86 possibly extinct [CR(PE)]
    • 0 possibly extinct in the wild [CR(PEW)]
  1. excludes data deficient evaluations.
  2. NT, LR/cd, LC.
  3. Threatened comprises CR, EN and VU. Upper estimate additionally includes DD.
  4. Chart omits extinct (EX) species
Near Threatened (NT) species do not currently qualify for Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN) or Vulnerable (VU), but are likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future, or are already close to qualifying.

No subpopulations of arthropods have been evaluated by the IUCN.
