Description

Mycetochara (s. str.) flavipes (Fabricius, 1792)

(Fig. 2)

Near 70 specimens were examined from many regions of European Russia (ZIN, ZMMU, ZMSFU, PCVA).

Distribution. Europe from Scandinavia to Mediterranean region, European Russia, Siberia, Russian Far East, Japan, Mongolia (Novák 2020b), Kazakhstan (Nakládal et al. 2017). Widely distributed in the European part of Russia north to Southern Karelia (Polevoi et al. 2018), south to the Northern Cis-Azov region (Rostov Region: Rostov-on-Don, Novocherassk, ZMSFU), west to Kaliningrad Region (V. Alekseev et al. 2015), east to Sakhalin and Japan (Novák 2020b). Most sources for M. axillaris also list M. flavipes and a very long list of references for different regions of Russia, which are not given here.

Iablokoff-Khnzorian (1983) recorded this species also for the Caucasus, later Novák (2020b) listed M. flavipes for Georgia, but the presence of this species here is not confirmed. Nabozhenko et al. (2010) recorded M. adygea sp. nov. from Nikel village (Adygea Republic) under the name M. flavipes.
