DISTRIBUTION. Reliably known from the W. Palaearctic and Nearctic, reputedly M. prolapsa is also present in the Eastern Palaearctic. However, it was not listed for Japan ( Shinonaga 2003). For China ( Xue & Chao 1998) it was listed only for Taiwan (compare with M. pascuorum reported for 11 Chinese provinces). Even more convincing is the fact that neither in Moscow nor in Saint Petersburg collections with hundreds of specimens of Muscina , there is not a single specimen of M. prolapsa collected east of Azerbaijan (49 ° E), either from Siberia or from Central Asia. The Siberian records given in Sorokina & Pont (2010) may be based on erroneous identifications by previous authors. For example, Sorokina and Pont refer to the report of V. Sychevskaya who collected M. prolapsa in Altai Krai near Biysk. We found in Zoological Museum of Moscow University several Muscina specimens collected in this locality by Sychevskaya, but these were only M. levida and M. stabulans . Thus, the presence of M. prolapsa in the Eastern Palaearctic seems to us doubtful. It is also worth mentioning the colonization by M. prolapsa of such remote Atlantic islands as Azores, Canary or Madeira. We assume that expansion to these islands occurred recently, along with the settlement of people. If so, the occurrence of M. prolapsa in the Nearctic region should have the same origin.
