Remarks. T. gelidus has been known from C & E Siberia (Baikal, Irkutsk Area), Maritime Province, ( Ullrich 1975), Khabarovsk Territory ( Schülke 1995), N Mongolia, NE China, S Korea, and Japan (Ullrich l.c.). It is recorded here for Altai, the N Amur basin, the Sakhalin and Kunashir islands for the first time. This species seems to be continuously distributed from Altai to the Kurils and Japan. As far as I know, the E part of the range does not stretch northwards of the Amur River basin.
