Comment: According to SMETANA (2004), this species has a trans-Palaearctic distribution. However, reliably identified material from the East Palaearctic region east of Middle Asia is unknown to me. In Middle Asia, L. fulvipenne has been recorded from Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The above specimens from Kyrgyzstan represent new country records.
