Remarks: The determination of materials listed by Dziędzielewicz (1914) was confirmed by František Klapálek. All records mentioned by Svensson (1972) are based on the summarized publication of Dziędzielewicz (1918) and listed under Poland. Penny (1977) did not report this species from Ukraine on published distributional maps.

Fudakowski (1923) reported two additional localities of this species, one from the Tatra Mountains and the second from the western part of the Roztochchya Region within the current territory of Poland. B. westwoodi also occurs in the eastern part of Roztochchya belonging to Ukraine.

Distributional data reported by Rizun et al. (2000) are based on faunistical information published in Red Book of Ukraine (1994), and results of SMNH collection determination; altogether seven specimens were mentioned (see also above): (1) Chornohora (catalogue number Е 21.02.01.01/7); (2) Kozmeshchyk (21.02.01.01/5); (3–5) Foreshchynka (Е 21.02.01.01/2, Е 21.02.01.01/3 and Е 21.02.01.01/4); (6) Turkul (Е 21.02.01.01/1) [collected by J. Dziędzielewicz and H. Huppenthal]; (7) Nesamovyte (Е 21.02.01.01/6) [collected by an anonymous author in 15.IX.1924].
