Material. IRKUTSK AREA: 1♂, 1♀, 17th km of the Baikal road. 2.05.1991. Anishchenko A. ( CG) ; 3 ex., same data, 3.06.1994., Anishchenko A . ( CS).

Remarks. Cosmopolit (Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Europe, European part of Russia, Ural, Siberia, Far East, Canada, USA, Argentina, Chili, Australia, New Zealand). According to Smetana (2004), C. bilineatus is widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region. It is one of the most well known and easily identified species within the genus, and is therefore the most frequently cited species in faunistic papers. Furthermore, in some cases C. bilineatus can be confused with C. rivularis ( Motschulsky, 1860) (for example: Shavrin, 2001; Shavrin, Shilenkov, Gisatullin, 2001) and even more so with C. similis Smetana, 1967 . Eppelsheim (1893) recorded species from the valley of Irkut, but study of his collection revealed that most of his records of Carpelimus and Thinodromus are misidentifications. For example: Thinodromus dilatatus (Erichson, 1839) was confused with Th. bernhaueri ( Klima, 1904) ; Carpelimus nitidus (Baudi di Selve, 1848) with C. lindrothi (Palm, 1943) , C. subtilis (Erichson, 1839) with C. gracilis (Mannerheim, 1830)) ; apparently, Eppelsheim also confused C. bilineatus with C. rivularis . In this regard, new material here is very important, because reliable records from this region are very rare. It is here reliably reported for Irkutsk Area for the first time. In Asiatic Russia, the species was known only from Altai and Maritime Province (Gildenkov, 2001, 2009).
