General distribution. Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, France, Georgia, Hungary, Iran, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Macedonia, Romania, south European Russia, Serbia, Tadzhikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.

Plant associations in Iran. Solanum tuberosum L. ( Solanaceae) (Hoseini & Dousti 2015). Collecting of this species on the above plant is surely occasional since all Ceratapion are associated with Asteraceae (Wanat 1995) .

Comments. Legalov et al. (2010) recorded erroneously Ceratapion (Angustapion) beckeri from Semnan with reference to Wanat (1995).
