B e m e r k u n g: Diese Art ist über die gesamte Holarktis verbreitet. Die nordamerikanischen Stücke sind durchschnittlich grösser als Eu. iripennis und Eu. suteri und dunkler gefärbt (Abb. 8). Die Bestimmung ist in manchen Fällen unsicher (z. B. bei Exemplaren aus Ottawa und solchen aus hohen Lagen der Berge in NH: die Flügeldeckengrösse scheint mit zunehmender Höhe z. B. auf dem Mt. Washington abzunehmen); vgl. dazu auch oben.
