Distribution.

The species is known to occur only in the south of Lake Teletskoye, Republic of Altai, Russia.

Remarks.

This species inhabits dark coniferous taiga forests at 1350-1750 m a.s.l. and the subalpine belt (= goltsy) at 1750-2000 m a.s.l. ( Mikhaljova 2004). In the Kyga Biogeocenosis Profile sites investigated the species is very rare (3 ind./m2), mainly collected by hand sampling in subalpine sparse growths of Pinus sibirica at 1847-2028 m a.s.l.
