Distribution. Russia: Primorskiy Terr. (Quest 2009), *Khabarovsk Terr., *Amurskaya Prov., *Kuril Islands (Kunashir), European part (Osytshnjuk et al. 1978); Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu (Mitai & Tadauchi 2013, as Sphecodes hanedai and S. koikensis), Europe (north to 66°), Turkey.
Remarks. We studied material of S. ferruginatus from Western Europe, Central Asia, and Siberia. Two specimens examined from Japan identified as S. hanedai (male) and S. koikensis (female) by K. Mitai proved to be S. ferruginatus. Description, figures (Tsuneki 1983) and redescription (Mitai & Tadauchi 2013) of S. hanedai and S. koikensis also indicate identity with S. ferruginatus. For this reason we propose S. hanedai and S. koikensis as new junior synonyms of S. ferruginatus.
