This North-East-Palaearctic species is also keyed and illustrated by HEISS & PERICART (2007) and the very characteristic male genitalic structures of the Canadian specimen were compared and considered identical to those of reference specimens from
Russia
, thus confirming the first record in the New World. According to
HEISS (2001)
A. laeviusculus
is distributed from Scandinavia across
Russia
to the Far East.
