Material examined. East Kazakhstan Region: Kurshim [ Kүrshіm] env. ( 48°34'N, 83°36'E), 406 m a.s.l., 17 VI 2017, 1♂ (body remains), leg. WTS.
Remarks. Dorcadion gebleri lukhtanoviis known from several localities eastwards from Lake Zaysan in northeastern Kazakhstan ( Toropov and Milko 2013). It occurs in the Kurchum Mountain ridge and in the surrounding foothill area ( Danilevsky 1996a). The larvae probably feed on the roots of Achnatheriumspp. The imagines are active from the end of April to May and only sometimes can be observed in June ( Toropov and Milko 2013). According to Danilevsky (1996a), this taxon seems to be a transitional form between D. g. gebleriand Dorcadion cephalotesJakovlev, 1890. Only the remains of a single male were found in a grassy, semi-ruderal habitat in the Kurchum River valley.
