Anoplistes jacobsoni, an endemic species to Kazakhstan, has been described from Perovsk (now Kyzylorda, Kazakhstan) by
Julius Ivanovitch Baeckmann in 1904 [▽]. Larvae of this rare beetle, which is known only from several localities along the lower and middle course of
the Syr Darya River in South Kazakhstan, are developing in living thin stems and branches of Halimodendron halodendron. Interesting
details about the bionomy of A. jacobsoni were reported by Lech Karpiński et al. in 2018 [✧].
