Distribution. Russia ( Astrakhan Oblast, Volgograd Oblast, Republic of Kalmykia, Novosibirsk Oblast, Altaiskii Krai, Altai Republic, Tyva Republic, Republic of Buryatia, Zabaykalsky Krai), Kazakhstan ( Atyrau Region, Ulytau Region, Jetisu Region, Kyzylorda Region, East Kazakhstan Region, Almaty Region), Mongolia ( Khovd Province, Govi-Altai Province, Bayankhongor Province, Ömnögovi Province, Töv Province, Khentii Province, Dornod Province), China ( Xinjiang, Qinghаi). This species was recorded for Issyk-Kul Lake, Kirgizstan ( Lukjanovich 1939), Kopet-Dag, Turkmenistan ( Kasatkin 2000), and Inner Mongolia, China ( Lukjanovich 1939).

Remarks (fig. 11). This species develops on Nitraria schoberi and N. sibirica , but prefers last species. It probably can develop on other species of Nitraria .
