Ellampus horwathi (!) var. mongolicus : du Buysson 1911: 219 (China: Nan Chan, Che Yeou Ho, tax.); Bischoff 1913: 8 (cat.).

Distribution.
China (Shanxi). Widely distributed from Mongolia to Central Asia and southern Russia to Volga ( Trautmann 1927).
Remarks.
Philoctetes mongolicus was often erroneously considered belonging to the genus Elampus (= Notozus ) due to its elongated metanotal projection. However, the metanotal projection is also present in various Philoctetes species (e.g.: Philoctetes putoni (du Buysson)). Kimsey and Bohart (1991) placed Philoctetes mongolicus under Philoctetes horvathi , even if Tsuneki and Linsenmaier considered it as a valid species. Type examination has confirmed that Philoctetes mongolicus is indeed a valid species.
