Remarks. Broadly distributed species in temperate and North Erurope (interestingly, until now unknown from southern states), eastwards to Georgia and Armenia. There are an additional 11♀ in CULSP collection from the same localities as mentioned above but they cannot be identified with certainty, so the records are omitted here. These are the first records for Turkey.
