Material examined. Almaty Region: 10 km SW of Sarkan [ Carқan] ( 45°21'N, 79°48'E), 990 m a.s.l., 4 V 2017, 2♂♂, leg. RP; 1♂, 1♀, leg. KL; 1♂, leg. GT.
Remarks. This taxon is endemic to eastern Kazakhstan and is known to occur only in one locality near the city of Sarkan in the foothills of the Dzungarian Alatau ( Toropov and Milko 2013). This species includes four subspecies: D. a. abakumoviThomson, 1865, D. a. lateraleJakovlev, 1895, D. a. lepsyenseDanilevsky, 2004 and D. a. sarkandicum, which are represented only by small populations that occur in a limited area in the northern part of the Dzungarian Alatau in eastern Kazakhstan ( Danilevsky 2004). The biology of the species is poorly known. The beetles occur at altitudes of approx. 800-1300 m a.s.l. where they feed on various species of Poaceae( Toropov and Milko 2013).
