Distribution. Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, Romania, Russia (north-west and centre of European part), Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland.

Remarks. This species of the R. (H.) nigripennis group was recognised relatively recently from Central Europe and South Scandinavia as well as, by a single record, from Moskovskaya Province of Russia ( Barták & Kubík 2012). Our data suggest that R. (H.) bohemica is relatively common in the North-Western and Central regions of the European part of Russia. However, its distribution extends to the east only as far as the Urals (Chelyabinskaya Province). The species is absent in southern regions, including the Caucasus.
