R e m a r k s: This species is rather common in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, yet differently identified by several authors. It is very likely undescribed (V. Soon, pers. comm.) and a revision of the blue species in Central Asia and adjacent countries may help in the correct identification on this species and its allies.

D i s t r i b u t i o n: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan.
