( Fig. 4 )

Material examined. BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: Bosna, Šipovo, vi.1971, 1 ♂, J. Hladil lgt., P. Kment det. ( MMBC). BULGARIA: Blagoevgrad: Sandanski (→ Lilyanovo), S slopes, 270–330 m a.s.l. (Locality No. 79/ 71), 18. vii.1971, 1 ♂, K. Majer lgt., J. L. Stehlík & P. Kment det. ( MMBC).

Distribution. A Euro-Siberian species distributed in the northern areas of Europe, Ukraine, Crimea, Caucasus, Asian part of Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China (Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Sichuan, Xinjiang), Siberia, and the Far East of Russia; in the Caucasus and Central Asia the species occurs in mountains ( Chen & Lindskog 1994, Lindskog 1995, Vinokurov 2004, Li et al. 2008, Vinokurov et al. 2012). Records from the Asian part of Turkey ( Kıyak et al. 2007, 2008) and Iran (Hamadan, West Azerbaijan) (Sakenin et al. 2011, Samin et al. 2011) were considered doubtful by Fent et al. (2011) (see also Aukema et al. 2013) and requires confirmation. New species records for Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bulgaria.
