MATERIAL. Russia: Kunashir Island, 4.5 km NW Mendeleevo airport, Tretyakovo vill.,
8−11.VII 2017, 11 ex., leg. S. Rybalkin.
DISTRIBUTION. Russia (Kunashir Isl.), Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu) (Bryk, 1942; Anikin et al., 2016).
NOTES. This species was firstly reported for the Kunashir fauna by Bryk (1942). After this, single specimens were found in Kunashir, including only 2 specimens in the last 30 years
(Sviridov, 2001). Due to these sporadic discoveries, the species was listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation and assigned the 1st category - “endangered species”. However, at the
2017, eleven specimens of the species were captured for four days only. Most likely, the sporadic findings are caused by a lack of material on the Kuril Islands .
