Distribution. Type localitiy: Germany, Holstein. Belarus (?); Europe.

Notes. Meuffels, Grootaert (1990) made a reassessment of species concepts of S. contristans and its close relatives. As a result, most of old records of that species need confirmation. Reliable area of the species distribution includes Belgium, France, Germany and Netherlands. Records from Belarus may belong to Sciapus maritimus Becker.
