Recognition. Mesonotum largely shining, with pollinose median vitta; fore and mid legs and hind tarsi yellow. Full description: Lundbeck (1910: 13), Collin (1961: 243), Chvála (1983: 98).

Remarks. For details of synonymy we refer to Lundbeck (1910) and Collin (1961).

Distribution. PALAEARCTIC: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia (incl. Abkhazia), Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Mongolia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia (Adygea, Arkhangel’sk, Bashkortostan, Chelyabinsk, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, Karelia, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, Leningrad, Moscow, Ryazan', Samara, Smolensk, Tver’, Voronezh, Yaroslavl’), Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine (Cherkassy, Kiev, Zakarpattia), and former Yugoslavia.

Hybos femoratus penetrates quite far to the south-east of the Palaearctic reaching the Kherlen River in central Mongolia [~ 48°39'N, 109°13'N], although apparently this species becomes quite rare beyond the Urals (Fig. 32). We record H. femoratus for the first time from Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and the Ukraine. There is an old record of H. femoratus (male) from northern Egypt (Becker 1902) that surely was correctly identified, but we did not find this species among our material from the Mediterranean.
