Distribution. Russia: Far East (Primorsky Krai) ( Prosvirov 2015). Recorded from Kazakhstan for the first time. This species has been known earlier only from the southern Russian Far East. The finding of M. sundukovi in EKR is rather unexpected and indicates that this species is distributed much more widely than previously suggested ( Prosvirov 2015).

Bionomics. The bionomics of M. sundukovi remains almost unknown; probably it is associated with forests and inhabits riparian biotopes ( Prosvirov 2015). The finding in the Ust-Sobachye Landscape Unit was made in a floodplain mixed forest (with Populus tremula , Betula sp. , and Picea sp. ) on the bank of the Sobachy Stream ( Figure 17 View Figures 15–20 ); on the Mount Grunina Gora it was found on moistened, shrubby meadow-steppe slopes in the mixed forest belt (with Abies sp. , Populus tremula , and Betula sp. ) ( Figure 18 View Figures 15–20 ).
