( zlobini Gild. )

Gildenkov 2001: 113 (as C. zlobini Gild. )

Material. IRKUTSK AREA: 3♂♂, 1♀, 19 ex., Kirenskiy district valley of Lena River, Krasnoyarovo , 7.08.2008, Shavrin A. V., Enushchenko I. V. ( CG; 1♂, 14 ex. – CS). Rermarks. According to Smetana (2004: 526), G. politus is widely distributed in Europe, Asia and North Africa. A lot of relevant data (Gildenkov, 2001, 2009) have been published, but polymorphism ( Carpelimus (s. str.) politus tenerepunctus Gildenkov, 1994 ) should be taken into consideration during identifications ( Gildenkov, 2010). The species was known from East Siberia only from females collected in Buryatia and Tuva (Gildenkov, 2001). It is here reported for the first time from the Irkutsk Area and the presence of this species in East Siberia is confirmed by males.
