Regional distribution.
We identified
Armiger annandalei
in a Single Sample taken from the Khoit Dalai Nuur lake near Dorgon Settlement (
14.07.2012
, leg. D.M. PalatoV). There waS a Single Shell of
Armiger
from the Khar Nuur lake (
01.07.1978
, leg. S. TSalolikhin) in ZIN collection, identified by L. ProzoroVa aS belonging to
A. annandalei
. Unfortunately, now thiS Specimen iS loSt and we were unable to examine itS identity.
Extra-limital distribution.
A Central ASian SpecieS of
Armiger
(
LikhareV & StarobogatoV 1967
;
Schütt 1973
;
Solem 1979
;
ProzoroVa & StarobogatoV 1996
) diStributed, among otherS, in the waterbodieS of TuVa Republic near to the RuSSian-Mongolian border (

). The SpecimenS collected in the Khoit Dalai Nuur lake are Virtually identical to
A. annandalei
from AfghaniStan illuStrated by
LikhareV & StarobogatoV (1967)
(See fig. 6 D). TheSe authorS alSo proVided Some anatomical data to diStinguiSh between
