Recorded from Kazakhstan for the first time. This species was recorded in several regions of Asian Russia and in northern Mongolia, so the finding of O. graniger in EKR is quite natural.</p><p>Bionomics. The species inhabits banks of rivers and streams; the larvae develop under stones on gravels (Cherepanov 1965; Matis 1980). In EKR O. graniger was collected in similar habitats, on a steppe stony bank of the Bukhtarma River (Sarkol Landscape Unit) (Figure 20) and on a stony bank of the Khamir River covered with Salix sp. (with a herbaceous layer of Epilobium sp., Carex sp., and Tussilago sp.).</p><p>Discussion</p><p>Most of the discussed species were previously known from territories adjacent to EKR, so their findings in eastern Kazakhstan are quite expected. Some of the other species of the Elateridae known from southern Siberia, Mongolia, and northern China also probably presented in EKR and will be found during further faunistic surveys of the region.</p><p>The findings of Ampedus karpathicus and Margaiostus . sundukovi in Kazakhstan, by contrast, are rather unexpected and considerably supplement the known data on the distribution of these species. In the case of A. karpathicus, it is due to the poor knowledge of the genus Ampedus in the Central and Eastern Palearctic in general, as the available data on the distribution of many species of the genus in the region is quite fragmentary.</p><p>The findings of Margaiostus sundukovi are the most remarkable of the discussed findings. This species was previously known only from the Russian Far East (southern Primorye), while other species of the subgenus Margaiostus s. str. are distributed in North America (Stibick 1978; Prosvirov 2015). Similar relict ranges are known in some groups of insects of the Altai, including some Coleoptera; however, in the different cases, these ranges have different histories of formation and their own specific characteristics. The distribution of the subgenus Margaiostus s. str. is probably somewhat similar to that of Grylloblattidae and some genera of Carabidae and Agyrtidae, whose ranges are divided into three widely disjuncted areas: the Altai Mountains, East Asia, and North America (Dudko &amp; Belousov 2006; Dudko 2011). Margaiostus sundukovi may be a nemoral relict, as it was collected in areas of dark coniferous taiga, considered analogous to broad-leaved forests (Dudko 2011). However, based on the scant known data, it is impossible to determine accurately whether the findings of M. sundukovi in EKR indicate a potential disjunction in the range of this species or it is widespread in the region from the Altai Mountains to the Russian Far East.</p><p>Acknowledgements</p><p>We are grateful to A.M.
