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).
