Remarks. First records for Hungary and Romania. This species is known from several countries of the Western Palaearctic region; among them Hungary is also listed by Yu et al. (2016), citing Chyzer (1901). However, the locality given in Chyzer (1901) is Oroszruszka, which is actually a former Hungarian name of Stakčín, Slovakia; therefore, this record refers to Slovakia, not to Hungary. Hence, the record given above is to be considered the first report from Hungary. Chyzer (1901) ’s record should not be interpreted as the first Slovakian report of the species, since the referred voucher specimen was not found in HNHM and its identification is impossible to validate.
