Hab. Only known breeding place : Motiwilowka, Gouv. Kiew, South Russia. Beyond breeding time 
specimens have been taken near St. Petersburg, Moskow and Orenburg. 
Obs. This form is still imperfectly known. Hartert considers it to be a geographic race of P. caeruleus, 
but this opinion is not supported by its having been found breeding within the area occupied by 
C.c. caervuleus. The examples named pallescens may be hybrids between P. pleskei and P. cyanus cyanus.
