Material. Altai Republic: field station “ Teletskaya ”, 51º47'42.1" N, 87º18'11.8" E, 495 m a. s. l., herbaceous vegetation, 31.07.2019 (E. Aksenenko, V. Golub), 1 male, 2 females, 1 larva GoogleMaps ; meadow near Teletskoye Lake with mixed grass vegetation, 51º47'18.1" N, 87º17'58" E, 482 m a. s. l., 01.08.2019, (Aksenenko), 1 female GoogleMaps ; ruderal area near vill.

Distribution. East Palaearctic species with known western range border in Altai Republic ( Vinokurov & Golub 2016). The nearest localities in Eastern Siberia are the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, and the Irkutsk Province.

Ecology. All undisturbed natural habitats in which the species was collected were open mesophytic areas with meadow vegetation. One of the collection points is the margin of the forest at the base of the mountain slope. The rocky soil of this place was destroyed by machinery and overgrown mainly with ruderal vegetation. Thus, the extensive materials collected in 2019, compared to the materials of 2009 ( Vinokurov & Golub 2016) has clarified the environmental features of the species.
