Remarks

Published records of this species from the Caucasus are before the description of three very similar species occurring in the Caucasus ( C. contrasta sp. nov., C. rufa sp. nov. and C. subpictipennis ). It is very likely that these previous reports of C. pictipennis actually belong to C. contrasta , C. rufa and/ or C. subpictipennis . The presence of the real C. pictipennis in the Caucasus Region is thus unlikely. Therefore, the name C. pictipennis is removed from the Caucasian checklist.

Distribution

Europe, European parts of Russia, and Siberia.
