In male genitalia (Fig. 17) it differs by narrower valva, shorter harpe and smaller, hardly traceable digitus; aedeagus with tubular vesica, without diverticula with fine scobination in distal part. The female genitalia (Fig. 24, 25) differ by shallow cup-like antrum and shape of appendix bursae with sclerotised wrinkled cervix in joining with ductus bursae. <b>Distribution and Bionomics.</b> Central Asian. Russia, South Siberia (Tuva, W and E Sayan, Irkutsk reg., Transbaikalia, south of Amur reg., Blagoveschensk); Mongolia, North and West China. Xerothermic species, occurs in dry steppe and forest-steppe biotopes. <b>Notes.</b> The original description of <i>Ammoconia parvispina</i> was published in Latin and German. The typelocality and flight period in the Latin part of the description are stated as “Hab. In terra Sojotorum ad flumen Kemtchik. Volat ad finem mensis Augusti” Two males referred as examined material in German part of the description: “ 2 males Flusse Kemtschik (Zwischen den Gebirgen Sajan und Tannu-Ola gefangen. Zweite Halfte August (P.Sushkin).” One of them is designated above as the lectotype. The type-locality in current interpretation is Russia, Tuva Autonomic Republic, Khemchik river. Since Corti &amp; Draudt (1931 –1938) the species has been treated in the genus <i>Atrachea</i>, while Kononenko (2001, 2005) noted its uncertain position.
