 Remarks. The species originaly described from Japan, then was cited for China ([?] Koch 1939a: Karatsu; [?]J. Li 1992: Liaoning) and the Russian Far East (Koch 1939b: Ussurisk [=Maritime Prov., Ussuriysk]; Kryzhanovskiy et al. 1973: Maritime Prov., Khasan). Concerning the Chinese record by Koch, it seems to be doubtful because Karatsu is a city located in the Saga Prefecture on the Kyûshû Island (Japan); the name of the city can be translated as ‘Chinese Port’; and no similar name has been found by me in maps of China. Though the presence of the species in China is beyond question for general reasons, the above record by J.Li is to be verified because of a dubious quality of the publication cited. The new records above from the Amur Area, Khabarovsk Territory, and Sakhalin Area widen NW limits of the range of L. dignum.
