I believe this is what should be called as koramense. This taxon has been described from a series of two old beetles (1966) from the highlands in the east of the Zailiysky Alatau (as D. suvorovianum koramense). In fact the beetles are found all along the slope above Koram village, becoming somewhat larger with increasing altitude. They are also variable with regard to the coloration of their legs. In the photo, I was trying to visualize some typical male form.. In features such as slightly yellowish suture, protruding black setae on elytra and strongly expressed humeral ribs like D. tschitscherini.
So at the moment Dorcadion (Acutodorcadion) koramense Danilevsky, 1999

S Kazakhstan, Almaty area, Enbekshikazakh distr., mt. slopes above Koram vill., h=1080 m., 20.IV.2024 M. Smirnov leg.

Male, 18 mm.
