General distribution. Distributed in most of European countries, Anatolia, Georgia, Asian part of Kazakhstan, and West Siberia (Jansson 1995, Protić 1998, Gogala 2003, Kanyukova 2008, Prokin et al. 2009).

Comment. The examined male from ‘ Çam Geçidi’ differs remarkably in the arangement of palar pegs from the typical specimens of the species, but as there is also a large difference between the right and left pala of the same specimen (Figs. 9–10) and the remaining characters fits this species, we interpret this specimen as a case of teratology.

Identification. Jansson (1986a), Kanyukova (2006).

Subgenus Sigara s. str.
