RUSSIA : EASTERN SIBERIA, TUVA [= TYVA ] REPUBLIC, Uyuksky range, Kamennyy valley, 1000 m a.s.l., 16.vii.2003 , 1 ♀ , S. Vastchenko leg., L. Castro det. & coll. Holarctic species found in most countries of northern, central and eastern Europe, Turkey , central Asia (from Kyrghyzstan to Mongolia ), most regions of Siberia and the Russian Far East (from Yamalia and Novosibirsk to Chukotka, Kamchatka and Primorye), Sakhalin, Japan , Canada and the United States ( CARPENTER & KOJIMA 1997 ; DUBATOLOV 1998 , 2005 ). It has also been mentioned by various authors from Taiwan , but STARR (1992) did not include it in his monograph, and there is yet another reason why the existence of a Taiwanese population of D. adulterina should be considered highly unlikely: the wasp has always been seen as a strictly intrageneric inquiline, and no other members of the genus have ever been recorded from Taiwan . First record from Tuva.
