Abstract
General regularities in zonal-landscape distribution of Calliptamus abbrevi atus and its range are described for the first time. The species is the onl y eastern Palaearctic representative of the genus. C. abbreviatus prefers s emideserts and dry steppe as C, italicus. However, its colonies are highly localizes all over the range, including areas and landscapes with optimal c onditions. Distinct ecological and geographical differences of this species from its related forms are revealed.
