Studied material. 1 ♂. Kurshim Distr., southern Altai, Kalguty Basin, near Kurshim MtR., Kalguty Vill. env., 48°23'28.8"N, 84°27'08.9"E, 502 m a.s.l., 21. VI GoogleMaps .2023, A.U. Gabdullina leg. ( DEUM) .

Distribution. Russia: Western Siberia (Altai Republic); Mongolia (steppe part of the country); Northwestern China: Xinjiang Province ( Gurjeva, 1979; Cate et al., 2007). Recorded from Kazakhstan for the first time. The species has been recorded in several regions bordering on Eastern Kazakhstan, so its finding in EKR is quite natural.

Bionomics. A steppe species inhabiting both mesophytic habitats along banks of rivers and lakes and steppe associations; the larvae develop in soils of floodplain biotopes and near springs, including saline areas (up to solonchaks) ( Gurjeva 1979). The EKR record is also from a steppe habitat, a Neotrinia saline steppe ( Figure 15 View Figures 15–20 ).
