Remarks

Based on the newly examined material, Q. dilatatus is recorded for the first time from Middle Asia (Kazakhstan). It is a widely distributed Palaearctic species that had already been recorded from several provinces of Russia near the border with Kazakhstan (Salnitska & Solodovnikov 2019). This is the first record of Q. dilatatus from the Altai Mountains.
