Material examined. 4 exx., Corea spet. 1983 Myohyangsan Mts. Exp. Inst.Zool.Cr. [ North Korea, Pyeon-ganbuk Prov., Mt. Myohyangsan, 1983 [ ISEA]; 1 ex., Korea 1981 Thesongho A. Szeptycki [ Korea, Pyeongannam Prov., Taeseongho-lake, 12 vi l981, A. Szeptycki].

Distribution. Korea (North), Russia (East Siberia, Far East, West Siberia), Europe.

Remarks. This species was recorded by Paśnik (2001) from North Korea, but no specimen has been collected in South Korea. We could not describe the mouthparts in detail because no specimen was available for dissection.
