Comments.
Acanthomegabunus sibiricus
is the only species previously known from the Katunsky Biosphere Reserve. The species was recorded from the vicinity of Srednee Multinskoe Lake (erroneously named Srednee Kuktinskoe Lake) (
Tchemeris 2015
). The lake is actually located outside the reserve, close to its northern border where the reserve’s ranger station is situated, although this record requires confirmation because it is based on a single female. A closely related species,
A. altaicus
Tchemeris, 2015
, may also occur there—its
type
locality lies close to the Katunsky Reserve (
East Kazakhstan
Area, Katon-Karagaiskii Districts).
Habitat.
Mountain moss-stony tundra, moss-pebble riverbanks,
Abies
forest,
Anemone
meadows, stony debris, dark coniferous forests, and aspen-fir forests (
