.
DISTRIBUTION. Holarctic. Detailed distribution is unclear due to questionable identity of older records [
Kjaerandsen et al., 2007a
].
REMARKS. Closely related species
S. parviareolata
Santos Abreu, 1920
has been reported from N Europe [
Kjaerandsen et al., 2007b
]. We have examined several other specimens from N
Russia
, which could not be clearly recognized either as
S. hirta
or as
S. parviareolata
using characters indicated by
Chandler [2001]
. It was pointed earlier that the validity of
S. parviareolata
is questionable [
Kjaerandsen et al., 2007b
], though there may be additional species in this complex.
