Remarks. D. serratosioi from Norway and Sweden was previously described as D. davisi Edwards by SerraTosio (1971). We recoded this species from Russia for Khakassia Republic (Makarchenko et al. 2022). This is the first information about the location of D. serratosioi in the Russian Far East. Distribution. Known from Finland , Norway , Sweden ( Ashe & O’Connor 2009 ), Khakassia and Russian Far East (Chukotka and Magadan Region, Amur River basin of Khabarovsk Territory).
