Comments.

Density of this species seems relatively low in this oblast (Dotsenko and Radchenko 2005). In Ukraine the northern border of the range of this species is south of the city of Mykolaiv ( Böhme et al. 2009). The species was reported from near Ochakov, on the Kinburn Spit and within Mykolaiv (Dotsenko and Radchenko 2005; Dovzhenko 2013). Our observations were made 60-80 km north of the previous reports. Two records were from the left bank of the South Bug River, versus 16 from the right (Fig. 10C).
