Comments. The species was described from the Ivanovsky Mountain Range in north-eastern Kazakhstan ( Gritsenko 1979) and has not been found since; this is the first record for the species from Russia. The genus Liropilio is morphologically similar to Zacheus C.L. Koch but differs by the presence of a tubercle with denticles on the basal segment of the pedipalps ( Figs 3–6 View FIGURES 1–4 View FIGURES 5–10 ) and an alate part on the penis, apically ( Figs 11–15 View FIGURES 11–15 ). Palpal femur, trochanter, and tibia of this species slightly thickened latero-apically, densely covered with short, stout setae. Palpal femur bordered dorso-apically, with two rows of teeth ventro-retrolaterally, tarsus covered with setae ( Figs 3–4 View FIGURES 1–4 , 7–10 View FIGURES 5–10 ).

Habitat. Scree, edges of mixed forests ( Pinus silvestris , Abies sibirica , Betula pendula ), stony riverbanks overgrown by moss and grass. The habitat of the type locality is unknown ( Gritsenko 1979).

Distribution. Eastern Kazakhstan (Ivanovsky Mountain Range, West Altai) and Altai Republic, Russia (Katunsky Mountain Range).
