Remarks. Known also from the Caucasus ( Zalesskaja 1978), and Iran ( Zapparoli 1986). L. turkestanicus was regarded as a junior subjective synonym of L. ferganensis by Eason (1997), but this synonymy was questioned by Farzalieva (2006), who studied extensive additional material from Middle Asia and Caucasus.
