Molecular data. BINS: BOLD:ACA7803 ( Russia), BOLD:ADR4060 ( Russia). The two BINs from Altai are nearest neighbours at a minimum distance of 2.88%. A genetically highly variable species which requires extensive re-assessment.

Distribution. Spain ( Huemer & Karsholt 2010: 109), Russia: Volga region ( Piskunov & Anikin 2001: 154), southern Ural ( Junnilainen et al. 2010: 48), Altai ( Ponomarenko 2019), Buryatia (new record); Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan (Povolný 2002).

Remarks. Specimens from Altai split into two genetic clusters. However, we did not find any reliable differences in the male genitalia between two compared specimens.
