Comments: A previously overlooked Eucnemis zaitzevi Mamaev, 1976 formerly known from Siberia and Russian Far East recently has been showed to occur in Eastern Europe (Estonia, Finland and Ukraine) (Muona 2019). In spite of this fact, Eucnemis specimens from Kaliningrad region (material collected in 2015–2021 years) were re-examined using new key (Muona 2019). The species E. capucinus is confirmed for the Kaliningrad region and comparatively often occurs in local fauna at eastern periphery of main distributional area.
