Distributed in southern Siberia (west to the Ural Mountains), the Russian Far East, northern and eastern Mongolia and northeastern China. Recently (KATAEV & KABAK 2014: 250), the species was reported from East Kazakhstan. In China, B. glabratus was known only from Shaanxi (JAEGER 1993: 944, JAEGER & WRASE 1994: 488, JAEGER & KATAEV 2003: 401). It is recorded here for Beijing, Qinghai, and Jilin for the first time. An additional record for Mongolia (East Aimak) is also provided; in Mongolia, the species was previously reported only from Khentey Aimak (JAEGER 1993: 944).
