Genus Megaulacobothrus Caudell, 1921

37(59). Megaulacobothrus aethalinus (Zubovsky, 1899)

Stenobothrus aethalinus: Miram, 1907: 6 .

Megaulacobothrus aethalinus: Bukhvalova & Vedenina, 1998: 120 .

Chorthippus (Megaulacobothrus) aethalinus: Sergeev, 1986: 207 .

Megaulacobothrus althalinus (sic!): Pavlov, 2004: 65.

REMARKS. The species was mentioned from the south-eastern part of Tuva (Tarys or

Tayrisin Basin, just near the state boundary) for the first and last time by Pavlov (2004).

However, this mention looks like based on misidentification, because, in the Altay-Sayan

Mts., the species is commonly associated with bushes and high meadows on the lower altitudinal belts (e.g., in North Altay, up to 1000 m) .

DISTRIBUTION. Tuva: SAN. – S Siberia (from the N Altay Mts. and their piedmont plains up to Dauria), S Russian Far East; E Kazakhstan, NE China, Korea.
