| Summary: | Fannia altaica Pont & Vikhrev, 2009 Figs 2 A–C This species was described from a single male from the Kosh-Agach district (Lake Zerlyukol’-Nur, 2300–2400m, 49º56'N, 88º20'E). The authors pointed out that treeless mountain tundra was a most unusual habitat for Fanniidae and that F. altaica might be associated with burrows of Marmota species (Pont & Vikhrev 2009). This does indeed appear to be the case according to the new material reported here, as several males and one female have been collected at the entrance to burrows of the Altai Marmot. Material examined. 4 males and 1 female, RUSSIA, Respublika Altai, Kosh-Agachskiy rayon, verkhov’ya r.
