Polia (Polia) lamuta (Herz, 1903)

Anarta lamuta Herz, 1903 , Annuaire du Musée Zoologique de l’Académie Imperiale des Sciences de St.-Pétersbourg 8: 82. Type-locality: [ Russia] Uruata Camp place; W of Verkhoyansk. Syntypes: 1 male, 1 female, in coll. ZISP.

Taxonomic notes. The species is subdivided to two, morphologically and geographically clearly separated subspecies. The identity of the nominotypical lamuta with the south Siberian alpine (Sayan Mts) ssp. tunkinski O. Bang-Haas, 1927 was already suggested by HEYDEMANN (1944) who considered P. lamuta rangnowi Püngeler, 1909 from Lapland as valid subspecies.

The ampulla is in P. lamuta lamuta much stronger than in P. l. rangnowi, terminally obtuse.
