Distribution notes.
In the original description Walter Wittmer reports three localities, two of which erroneously placed in Transbaikalia:
Holotype
: Magadanskaya Oblast, SE Siberia (not in Transbaikalia: Oloy River is a tributary of Omolon River, in its turn a tributary of Kolyma River); a first
Paratype
labelled “Verkhneudinsk” (now Ulan-Ude), actually in Transbaikalia; a second
Paratype
from Amurskaya Oblast, in the Russian Far East (Skovorodino) (not in Transbaikalia). Later, some further specimens were found in Baikal (Olkhon peninsula), Chita and Yakutia, as detailed below:
IRKUTSKAYA OBLAST: Vitim Upland, upper stream of Bolshoi Amalat River,
1.VIII.1967
, coll.?—1 Ƥ (SCH); Olkhonsky Raion, Chernorud environce, Sarinskii Goletz (mountain peak stones), on
Pinus pumila
,
12.VII.1998
, S. Toshchakov leg. —1 3 (SCH); CHITINSKAYA OBLAST: Chita City,
4.VII.1977
, V. Kovalev, D. Zherikhin leg.—1 3 (SZMN); YAKUTIA: Keedei Lake, pass to the Amgu river,
15.VII.
[19]25, L. Bianki leg.—1 3 (ZISP).
Thus, this species appears widely distributed in the northeastern part of Asiatic
Russia
