Distribution. Holarctic species (Charpentier 1979; Mascagni 2016) with a disjunction of the range on the Black Sea coast of the North Caucasus (Zaitsev 1946). Species was described from Germany, distributed in North and Central Europe, Central Asia (northern Kazakhstan and Mongolia), West and East Siberia, Russian Far East, North America (Mascagni 2016; Sazhnev 2020).
Remarks. The first record this species for Caucasus was make as Augyles seriepilosus Motschulsky, 1860 (Zaitsev 1916), which F.A. Zaitsev considered as probably synonym of Augyles intermedius species (Zaitsev 1946). But Augyles seriepilosus (species dubius) was described from East Siberia (Transbaikal Region) (Motschulsky 1860), specimen of « Augyles seriepilosus » with Motschulsky labels is in ZISP collection, and it possible refers to Asian species Augyles interspidulus (Charpentier, 1979).
The species recorded for Nizhniy Novgorod, Tambov and Tver Oblasts for the first time.
