Distribution: Altai , East Sayan (Tunkinskiy Mts.). Recently, the species was recorded from Lazovskiy and Ussuriyskiy nature reserves, South Primorye ( Assing, 2007 ). Remarks . One of the two syntypes was labelled by Vladimir Gusarov as the lectotype , but this designation was never published. Since both syntypes are females and doubtlessly conspecific, a lectotype designation is not deemed necessary.The shape of the aedeagus of the male from Arshan (Tunkinskie Goltzy) is identical to the illustrations given by Coiffait (1967) in the description of L. altaicum . Therefore, L. altaicum is here placed in the synonymy of the senior name L. indubium .
