Elampus foveatus (Mocsáry, 1914)

Ellampus foveatus Mocsáry, 1914: 1 . Lectotype ♂ (designated by Móczár 1964); Bosnia

[HNHM] (examined).

Elampus sanzii: Anichtchenko 2002: 5 (Irkutsk Prov.).

Ellampus foveatus: Paukkunen et al., 2014: 14 .

DISTRIBUTION. Russia (Irkutsk Prov.). Trans-Palaearctic, from Central Europe to Siberia (Paukkunen et al., 2014). The exact distribution is still uncertain, because authors often misidentified E. foveatus with other, more or less closely related taxa,

e.g. E. sanzii Gogorza and E. spina (Lepeletier) .

REMARKS. Identifications of Elampus sanzii from North Europe (Paukkunen et al., 2014), Siberia and Central Europe are likely to refer to E. foveatus . The latter is probably widespread in the central and northern part of Russia, whereas E. sanzii should be limited to the southern part; records from central and eastern regions of the Russian European part are in need of confirmation.
