Gnathonarium taczanowskii (O. Pickard­Cambridge 1873) Gnathonarium cambridgei Schenkel 1963: 114 syn. n. Material: 2 ♂, 10 Ψ (SMF), China, Quinghai Prov., Koko Nor Lake, southern shore, near Heimane, 3200–3250 m, 9.– 21.VI. 1996, leg. J. Martens; 1 Ψ (SMF), Shaanxi Prov., S flanks of Taibai Shan, above Houshenzi, primary broadleaved forest, 1700–2600 m, 9.VI. 1997, leg. J. Martens & P. Jäger; 1 Ψ (SMF), same, above Houshenzi, secondary broadleaved forest, 1300–1700 m, 19.VI. 1997, leg. J. Martens & P. Jäger. Taxonomic remarks. The recently published revision of the genus Gnathonarium Karsch 1881 by Tu & Li (2004), provided with splendid and highly detailed illustrations, clearly shows that G. cambridgei Schenkel 1963, known from China, represents a junior synonym of Gnathonarium taczanowskii (O. Pickard­Cambridge 1873) syn. n. The latter species was originally described from the Lake Baikal region (Pickard­Cambridge 1873), and currently known to be widespread in Asia from the Urals in the West to Cisokhotia, Kamchatka, Sakhalin etc. in the East; also recorded in Mongolia and throughout South Siberia. In the Nearctic, recorded only from Alaska (Tanasevitch 2006).
