Cryptocephalus (Asionus) mniszechi Tappes, 1869 *

References. Medvedev 1973: 108; Lopatin 2005:200.

Distribution. Asian Russia (Tuva).

Notes. In the original description, the species is reported from Altai. All the currently known specimens originate from Tuva (collections by B. A. Korotyaev (ZIN) and R. V. Yakovlev (EGCB)). The beetles were collected in the second half of May. Medvedev (1973) indicated C. mniszechi also occurs in Krasnoyarsk. However, the image of the aedeagus presented in his work refers to another species. We have not found C. mniszechi in this region, so its presence in Krasnoyarsk Krai is considered doubtful.
