Distribution. Pteroloma forsstromii is a widely distributed Palaearctic species, known also from adjacent areas in the Far East of Russia and North Korea ( LAFER 2002, RŮŽIČKA & SCHNEIDER 2003). Specimens from the Heilongjiang province are only tentatively identified, as this species can be reliably separated from related P. sibiricum Székessy, 1935 only based on the shape of male genitalia ( LAFER 2002). First record from China ( Fig. 27 ).
