REMARKS. This species was firstly recorded from
Mongolia
by
Gantigmaa & Myagmar (2022)
. The species typically found in wet meadows with dense vegetation. On the western shore of Buir Lake the species habits together with
C. chinensis
.
The long-winged form of
C. beybienkoi
is found for the first time and described below.

DESCRIPTION
OF
MACROPTERA
FORM
. Long-winged female (
Fig. 8
) is similar to typical brachyptera form and characterized as follow: fastigium of vertex relatively broad, 1.5–2 times narrower than 1st segment of antennae; lateral lobes of pronotum with distinct humeral sinus; fore femora 1.1–1.2 times shorter than pronotum; hind femora ventrally with 1–2 outer rudimentary spines; subgenital plate trapezoidal; ovipositor weakly upcurved, 1.2–1.3 times shorter than hind femur, but differs by tegmina reaching the half of hind tibia and hind wings on
3mm
longer than tegmina. Body in macropterous form green or greenish brown; dorsal surface of head and pronotum with a brown longitudinal strip; tegmina unicolors without spots and stripes; legs green or greenish brown; ovipositor pale brown.
MEASUREMENTS (in mm). Female, forma macroptera: length of body 16–18; pronotum 2.6–2.9; tegmen 17–18; hind femur 10.5–11; ovipositor 9–9.5.
