Distribution. China (Liaoning), southwestern Russia, Korea, Japan (including Yaku-shima Is.). Introduced into British Columbia, Canada, but not established; Taiwan?
Discussion. Nests of this species have been found in the ground, and in sheltered above ground sites, such as hollow trees, wall voids, and attics. A queen of V. simillima was found in the village of Tsaochan in Taiwan in 2003, but it is unclear whether the species has established on the island ( Sung et al. 2006). It is apparently not established in British Colombia (Kimsey and Carpenter 2012).
