Discussion. The type locality of A. mongolicus and probably also that of its junior subjective synonym A. majorinus are currently in China. The species has not been recorded from the country after 1934; no specimens from China were seen in course of the present study.

Distribution. An endemic Central Asian species; it has been reported from Mongolia (Josifov & Kerzhner 1967, as majorinus; Kiritshenko & Kerzhner 1972, 1976 etc.) and China: Turkestan [= Xinjiang] (Wu 1935), Xinjiang: western part (Hsiao 1965a; not included in Hsiao 1977). A distribution map was presented by Putshkov (1986: 98, fig. 54).
