DISTRIBUTION. Originally described by Gerstfeldt (1859) from several localities in Siberia and the Russian Far East, this species was later redescribed by Eason (1976) from one of Stuxberg’s female syntypes of Lithobius fugax from Krasnoyarsk. At present, L. (E.) sibiricus is widely distributed across the Asian part of Russia ( Sseliwanoff, 1880a, b, 1881; Attems, 1909; Molodova, 1972; Alekseeva, 1974; Eason, 1976; Kurcheva, 1977; Zalesskaja, 1978; Nefediev, 2001; Vorobiova, 1999; Vorobiova et al., 2002; Nefediev, Aripov, 2013; Nefediev et al., 2016, 2017a, b, 2018; Dyachkov, 2017a, b), also known from northern Mongolia ( Poloczek et al., 2016).

REMARK. Lithobius (E.) sibiricus is formally recorded from the Kemerovo Area for the first time.
