Three specimens from Dzungarian Alatau in ZIN are damaged by dermestids and among them only one of the two males has the aedeagus intact. Based on external morphology, these specimens, collected during the same collecting event, appear conspecific. The structure of the aedeagus preserved in one of them suggests they may be conspecific with
