Full description: Lundbeck (1910: 15), Collin (1961: 238), Chvála (1983: 95).
Remarks. For details of synonymy we refer to Lundbeck (1910) and Collin (1961).
The distribution of this species is well documented for the western Palaearctic; however, in the eastern part of the region the picture remains unclear due to almost absolute absence of published data. Frey (1935) recorded this species from Kamchatka. However, in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Hybotidae Chvála & Kovalev (1989) noted H. grossipes from the Russian Far East with a question mark. Recently, Yang & Yang (2004), Yang et al. (2007) and Li et al. (2014) recorded this species from Palaearctic and Oriental China.
Our data indicate that H. grossipes is the only species of the genus with a continuous, undisrupted transpalaearctic distribution (Fig. 37). In the European part, this species is absent in the south (including the Caucasus) which supports Chvála’s (1983) suggestion. At the same time, Chvála (l.c.) indicated that in Fennoscandia “ H. grossipes is more common towards the north beyond 66°N, up to the polar circle and it is the hybotine species with the most northern distribution, in Finland to the north part of Ostrobottnia borealis and Kuusamo (65°58′00″N, 29°10′00″E), in Norway to Nord-Trøndelag (64°30'00''N, 11°40'00''E)”. This species is absent among material taken from subarctic latitudes over the huge territory of Russia. Moreover, according to our data, H. grossipes has not yet been found beyond 60°N east of the Urals. Our data confirm Frey’s record of H. grossipes from Kamchatka where this species apparently is quite common. Additionally, H. grossipes was found among material collected from Primorskiy Territory of Russia and from Sakhalin Island, but it has not yet been recorded from Japan. We record here H. grossipes for the first time from Byelorussia, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Mongolia, Ukraine and many provinces of Russia.
