Notes

This species is widespread in Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Crimea reaching the Chinese Karakoram in the east, and Greece and Romania in the west ( Eason 1997, Stoev 2004). It is often found at high elevations, and shows preference for meadows, sometimes also recorded from caves ( Zalesskaja 1978). In the Abrau Peninsula, L. ferganensis occurs in a wide range of habitats: from mountanious deciduous forests (e.g. Q. petraea , F. orientalis , C. caucasica forest) to P. mutica - Juniperus shrubland on dry slopes and open areas. The specimens were collected mainly from the upper soil and compressed FH layers, as well as under the bark of decaying trees.
