Material re-examined

(specimens published by Mikhaljova et al. 2008). 1 male (ASU), site 6; 1 male, 6 juv. (ASU), site 14.

Distribution.

The species appears to be quite widespread in the south of Siberia, Russia: Tomsk, Novosibirsk and Kemerovo areas, Republic of Altai and Republic of Khakassia, and originally described from between the city of Achinsk (Krasnoyarsk Province) and the city of Mariinsk (Kemerovo Area).

Remarks.

This species lives mainly in various forest habitats like small-leaved, mixed and dark coniferous forests, forest- and shrub tundra, and also mesophytous meadow. The maximum altitude registered is about 2080 m a.s.l ( Mikhaljova et al. 2008). In the Kyga Biogeocenosis Profile the species quite rare found in the mid-mountain mixed forest and in the subalpine sparse growths of Pinus sibirica , with the maximum abundance registered is about 6 ind./m2.
