Material. We examined all specimens (only females), listed by Nikitsky (2016, 2019) for Moscow Region and one female, recorded by Egorov (2019) and Egorov & Semionenkov (2023) for Chuvash Republic.

1♂, 1♀ ( PCMN), Russia, Tver Region, Kimry Distr., Shelkovnikovo village environs, 25–28.vi.2022 (collector unknown) .

Distribution. North and Central Europe ( Novák 2020b). Russia: Komi Republic ( Yurkina 2011), Udmurtia (Dedukhin & Nikitsky 2009), Chuvashia ( Egorov & Semionenkov 2023), Moscow ( Nikitsky 2016, 2019) and Tver regions; it was listed for Kaliningrad Region ( Bercio & Folwaczny 1979); Western Siberia: Tyumen Region ( Sergeeva & Stolbov 2020). The record for the steppe Ciz-Ural region ( Kozminykh 2015) needs verification.
