Distribution. Holarctic species ( Charpentier 1979; Mascagni 2016) with a disjunction of the range on the Black Sea coast of the North Caucasus ( Zaitsev 1946). Species was described from Germany, distributed in North and Central Europe, Central Asia (northern Kazakhstan and Mongolia), West and East Siberia, Russian Far East, North America ( Mascagni 2016; Sazhnev 2020).

Remarks. The first record this species for Caucasus was make as Augyles seriepilosus Motschulsky, 1860 ( Zaitsev 1916) , which F.A. Zaitsev considered as probably synonym of Augyles intermedius species ( Zaitsev 1946). But Augyles seriepilosus (species dubius) was described from East Siberia (Transbaikal Region) ( Motschulsky 1860), specimen of « Augyles seriepilosus » with Motschulsky labels is in ZISP collection, and it possible refers to Asian species Augyles interspidulus ( Charpentier, 1979) .

The species recorded for Nizhniy Novgorod, Tambov and Tver Oblasts for the first time.
