Pseudanostirus vicinus Gurjeva, 1984 ( Figures 6 View Figures 1–6 , 12 View Figures 7–14 , 19 View Figures 15–20 , 21 View Figures 21 )

Studied material. 1 ♂. Katonkaragay Distr., central Altai, Katun MtR. spurs, KKSNNP, ca. 6.4 km SE of Rakhmanovskoe Lake, 49°28'18.31"N, 86°36'01.12"E, 2414 m a.s.l., 10.VIII.2023, V. M. Vorobyov leg. ( DEUM) GoogleMaps

Distribution. Russia: Western Siberia (Kemerovo Region (Kemerovskaya Oblast), Altai territory (Altaiskii Krai); northern Mongolia: Khövsgöl Prov. ( Gurjeva 1989; Volynkin et al. 2011; Prosvirov & Efimov 2016). Recorded from Kazakhstan for the first time. This rare species has been known only from sporadic findings from the Altai-Sayan Mountains; its presence in the mountain system of the central Altai is quite natural.

Bionomics. The bionomics of P. vicinus remains unknown; this species was recorded in low- and middle-altitude forests ( Prosvirov & Efimov 2016). In EKR it was collected at highlands in Betula nana tundra with rocky areas covered with Betula rotundifolia ( Figure 19 View Figures 15–20 ).
