Figs 92–93 View Figs 92–105. 92–93 .
DISTRIBUTION. Southeastern Ukraine, central and southern regions of European Russia, Northern Urals, Kazakhstan, southern Siberia, Mongolia [ Tishechkin, 2019].
RECORD. Oscillograms of calling signals of males from Moscow Oblast, Voskresensk District , environs of Beloozerskiy Town are given in Tishechkin [2019]. This is the first record of this species in Moscow Oblast and the northernmost record in European Russia .
REMARKS. L. (S.) paradoxus feeds on Artemisia spp. and is fairly common in steppes and deserts, often on saline soils. Rare in the forest zone; inhabits dry open biotopes.
Similar to L. (S.) transversus (Fallén, 1826) and can live with it in the same biotope. In appearance, differs from it in the shape of black pattern on vertex, including black transverse stripe not reaching eyes (always reaches eyes in L. (S.) transversus ; cf. Figs 92–93 and 94 View Figs 92–105. 92–93 ).
