The species is found in the far east of Russia (evidence from: Jewish Autonomous Oblast , Khabarovsk , Primorye Region ), north-east China (evidence from Jilin , Liaoning , Beijing , Shanxi ) and the Korean Peninsula (evidence from North Korea: Hamgyŏng-pukto ; evidence from South Korea: Gyeonggi-do , Gangwon-do , Jeollanam-do ) common. Flight times of the species are known in May (Liaoning), June (Jilin, Yevreyskaya and Primorje) and July (Shanxi). In Korea, the species flies from mid-May to late July.
