Remarks. T. pallipes is widely distributed in Europe, reported also from the Middle Ural and

Siberia up to Yakutsk (Ulrich 1975), from the Kamchatka Peninsula ( Schülke 1995), the Caucasus ( Tichomirova 1973a), NE Kazakhstan ( Kashcheev 1999), NE China (J. Li 1993). The citations for N America ( Fauvel 1875; Bernhauer & Schubert 1916; Tichomirova l.c.; etc) pertain to T. frigidus Erichson, 1839 in fact ( Campbell 1973).

I had identified as T. pallipes some specimens from the Amur Area, Khabarovsk Territory, and Maritime Province before 1990 (the material is deposited in Kabakov Collection, ZIN). I believe the eastern records to belong either to the very close T. rishirianus or to T. bernhaueri Luze, 1901 . It is necessary to revise the material to exclude any confusion.
