DISTRIBUTION. This species inhabits SE districts of the Republic of Altai only ( Fig. 1 View Fig ).

REMARKS. Endemic to the Russian Altais. Neither the gonopods nor coxae 10, nor coxae 11 of this species have ever been shown using SEM. Therefore, they are given here ( Figs 2–7 View Figs 2–7 ). An examination of males of the species from the ASU collection has revealed a small, two-branched anterior process (ap) on each angiocoxite of the posterior gonopods. This character is well visible in a SEM micrograph ( Fig. 4 View Figs 2–7 ), but it was not specified in the original description [see Mikhaljova, 2000]. Hence, this structure must be included into the description of S. calycina .
