Distribution.

The species is known to occur in the Republic of Altai, Siberia, Russia only.

Remarks.

This species prefers to live in mixed and dark coniferous forests, and also known from subalpine habitats like golsty, with the maximum altitude registered is about 2000 m a.s.l. ( Mikhaljova and Golovatch 2001). In the Kyga Biogeocenosis Profile the species shows the highest ecological plasticity, dwelling in low- and mid-mountain chern taiga forests, and subalpine sparse growths of Pinus sibirica up to subgoltsy, with the maximum altitude registered is about 2028 m a.s.l.
