o. p. "pallasi" can be geographically separated from the other three subspecies. o. p. "pallasi" is largely distributed in kazakhstan and the other large group o. p. "pricei", are distributed along mongolia and bordering territories. the range for both these groups extends all the way between the betpak dala desert located in kazakhastan to the helan shan range. the remaining two, which have been little-studied, o. p. "argentata" collected mostly at the helan shan range and the o. p. "sunidica" found mostly near the chinese-mongolian border, both of which found in rocky habitats with very restricted ranges.
