Mikhaylov Yu.E. MOUNTAINOUS AND PIEDMONT DISJUNCTIONS AND MOUNTAIN-BELT ECOLOGICAL RACES IN GOLD-BEETLES (COLEOPTERA, CHRYSOMELIDAE)The endemic south-ural Gold-beetle Chrysolina (Arctolina) poretzkyi Jcbs was found to have both piedmont and mountainous populations. The gaps between mountainous and piedmont populations were found also in Cystocnemis discoidea Gebl., Chrysolina (Pleurosticha) gebleri L.Medv., Ch. (Taeniosticha) tuvensis L.Medv. and Ch. (Arctolina) cyanella Gebl. The paper discusses morphological and ecological differences of their mountain-belt ecological races and ways for their origin.
