I have this species in my collection also from RUSSIA: SAM ARA (=K UYB YSH EV) AREA (Neftegorskiy District, Samara River), VOLGOGRAD AREA (Volgograd. Irrigation; N of Kalach-na-Donu).

Remarks. The species has been originally described from E Siberia and later reported for European Russia (Samara) as a new variety ( Czwalina 1888). Tichomirova (1968) redescribed L. flavipes , illustrated for the first time both male and female sexual characters of the species, and provided records for N Volga region as well as for the Tambov Area (Michurinsk). In my old paper ( Ryvkin 1989), I have cited the male specimen, identified by me as L. flavipes , from Motschulsky collection (ZMMU): “6. VerhnjeUdinsk” [= Buryatia, Ulan-Ude]. Coiffait (1967) had described L. incertum from Altai (Chuya River basin) and figured aedeagus of the L. flavipes male from Astrakhan ( Coiffait 1982). Assing (2008) has found L. incertum Coiffait to be a synonym of L. flavipes Hochhuth and ‘first recorded’ the latter again, after Czwalina and Tichomirova, for the Russian Central European territory.
