DISTRIBUTION. Originally described as

Isobates sibiricus by Gulička (1963) from the Kemerovo Area, this species was later transferred first to the subgenus Orinisobates (Gulič- ka, 1972), and finally to the genus Orinisobates ( Lokšina, Golovatch, 1979) . The distribution of O. sibiricus is mostly confined to Siberia, Russia, viz. the Kemerovo and Irkutsk areas, the republics of Khakassia, Altai and Tyva, and the Krasnoyarsk, Altai and Zabaikalskii provinces ( Gulička, 1963, 1972; Byzova, Chadaeva, 1965; Enghoff, 1985; Mikhaljova, 1993, 2002, 2004, 2016, 2017; Mikhaljova, Golovatch, 2001; Mikhaljova, Nefediev, 2003; Nefediev, Nefedieva, 2006, 2007a, b, 2013; Nefedieva, Nefediev, 2008; Nefediev et al., 2014, 2018; Nefedieva et al., 2015; Nefediev, 2018b). This species is also known from the Eastern Kazakhstan and Almaty areas (both Kazakhstan), and the Talas Area ( Kyrgyzstan) ( Enghoff, 1985).
