Reports of this species from Primorskii Krai (Viidalepp 1977: 564; Viidalepp 1996: 29; and subsequent references in Mironov et al. 2008: 218; Beljaev 2016: 633; Beljaev & Mironov 2019: 269; Beljaev & Mironov 2021) are apparently based on the specimen cited on the GBIF website, taken in Gornotajozhnaja village 19.VI.1979 (Kurina 2022h) (Table 2).
