Records. HUEMER et al. (2017).

Material examined. RUSSIA: ALTAI REPUBLIC: Teletskoe lake,Artybash biol. St, 18.–22.viii.1982, 7 3 ♀♀, Mikkola leg. ( FMNH); Kuragan valley, 15 km S Katanda, 1200 m a.s.l., taiga, 23–25.vii.1983, 1 (GU 94/481, P.Huemer),Mikkola,Hippe & Jalava leg. ( FMNH); Katun valley, 700 m a.s.l., near Ust-Sema village, 51°40′N 85°45′E, 23.vi.2000, 3 1♀♀ (gen. slide 249/ 19 ♀, O. Bidzilya), T. & K. Nupponen leg.( NUPP); Ulagan district, 11 km NNW of Aktash, 1.900 m a.s.l., 50°24′49.22″N, 87°34′21.42″E, 28.–30.vii.2016, 2, (Barcode TLMF Lep 20249, TLMF Lep 20250), P. Huemer & B. Wiesmair leg. ( TLMF); Belyashi (Dzhazator) env. (25 km NW), confluence of Argut and Karagem rivers, 49°51′56″N, 87°10′22″E, rocky steppe, 1400 m, 27.–28.vii.2017, 1 (Barcode NMPC-LEP-0374), J. Šumpich leg. ( NMPC); Ust-Kan env. (6 km E), 50°56′05″N, 84°51′17″, grassy steppe, meadow, 1100 m a.s.l., 12.vii.2014, 3 (gen. slide 195/18, O. Bidzilya), J. Šumpich leg. ( NMPC).

Molecular data. BIN BOLD:AAC1599 (n = 37, 33 public, 3 from the Altai). The average intraspecific divergence of the barcode region is 0.25% (maximum 0.72%). However, several other BINs were assigned to the species C. pullatella : AAC1598 (southern and central Europe), AAC1597 ( Canada), AAH6281 ( Canada), AAH4284 ( Canada, USA), ACI5465 ( USA), which can indicate cryptic diversity there. The Altai specimens are clustered together with North-European records ( Norway, Finland).

Distribution. Holarctic according to the current concept. In Russia it was recorded from the European part to Zabaikalskiy krai in the east ( PONOMARENKO 2008).

Remark. Caryocolum pullatella was described from Finland (cf. HUEMER 1988). Based on the barcode data, the Altai specimens belong to true C. pullatella , with a distribution possibly restricted from northern Europe to

southern Siberia, whereas other populations probably represent cryptic species which should be revised (see also NAZARI & LANDRY 2012).
