Remarks.
Politodorcadion politum is distributed in northeastern Kazakhstan and southwestern Russia. The species includes three subspecies: P. p. politum , P. p. akmolense (Suvorov, 1911) and P. p. shapovalovi Danilevsky, 2006 ( Danilevsky 2018a). The nominotypical subspecies is distributed west of Lake Zaysan and in West Siberia ( Toropov and Milko 2013, Danilevsky 2018a, b). It inhabits grassy steppes that were mainly formed by Stipa spp. and sparse grasslands in hilly plains. The larvae feed on various species of Poaceae . The adults (Fig. 14H) are active from the end of April to mid-June ( Toropov and Milko 2013).
