Remarks. T. marginatus is distributed from N and Central Europe in the West to the Russian Far East in the East ( Ullrich 1975). It is also recorded for Kazakhstan ( Kashcheev 1999), Mongolia, China and the Korean Peninsula (Ullrich l.c.). It is unknown from Japan (L.-Z.Li 1995). Ullrich (l.c.) mentioned several finds of the named species from the N Amur River basin. Ganglbauer (1895), Horion (1967), and Tichomirova (1973a) cited the species for the Caucasus. Neither Ullrich’s (l.c.) nor my material studied confirm these records which seem to be misidentifications of T. cingulatus Solsky, 1864 resembling T. marginatus in appearance.
