Remarks. This species is known to occur widely in Europe (Brenske 1897; Baraud 1992; Ahrens 2006b, 2007b; Ahrens & Bezděk 2016). The species has been mentioned also from Korea and Russia (Far East and Siberia) (see Kim & Lee 1997; Kim & Kim 2003). The occurrence in the Far East (Russia) is here confirmed, and we have now first records from China.
