Habitat records . “Near waterfall”, “pasture” ( Zalesskaja 1978 ); Stipa lessingiana steppe ( Bragina et al . 2020 ); dry stony shiblyak shrubland with rocks on 660–980 m ; wet stony shiblyak shrubland with rocks on 1300–1370 m ; stony meadow with rocks on 1250–1540 m ; Medicágo ; virgin soil ( Dyachkov 2020 ); stony mountain tundra on 3110–3160 m ( Dyachkov 2019 ). Remarks . After comparison material of H . plumatus ( Dyachkov 2020 ; unpublished data) with the specimen of H . cf. plumatus (mentioned in Dyachkov 2019 ), we consider this specimen as H . plumatus . The main morphological characters of this specimen correspond well to the original description by Zalesskaja (1978) , a sole difference is in 3+3 gonopodal spurs (2+2 according to the original description); it can be attributed to intraspecific variability. H . plumatus is known from Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan , and Tajikistan only.
