Stipa pavlovii Kotukhov (1998a: 7) . Type citation:—Saur-Tarbagataj, jugi Saurici brachia australi-occidentalia, 1800 m s.m., in regione hibernaculi Kyzylkija, declivitas austro-orientalis saxosa, 04 July 1991 , Ju. Kotukhov (LE) Type:—not found. Paratypes :— Saur-Tarbagatai , khr. Маnrak, v raione pos. Mauldy , yugo-zap. shchebnistyi sklon, 21.VII.1993 , Yu. Kotukhov ( LE —not found) ; Saur-Tarbagatai, khr. Маnrak, v raione per. Saikan, 1300 m nad ur. m., yugo-vost. shchebnistyi sklon, 16.VII.1993 , Yu. Kotukhov ( LE —not found) . The original material of Stipa pavlovii (types and paratypes ) cited by Kotukhov (1998a) was not found at LE and KUZ . We also did not find any other specimens match the description of the species. We are therefore not able to designate a lectotype or a neotype for the species. Based on the description, S. pavlovii is very close to S. sczerbakovii . This group of taxa requires taxonomic revision.
