Basic contents:

The map is a vector file consisting of 1 basic and 2 subject layers. The species range is represented by a polygon and dots.

The dots represent information on the species localities according to published sources (2), the polygon - generalized information on the species distribution.

Method of the map construction:

The range map is based on published maps (Grossheim, 1939; Sokolov et al., 1977). In the former USSR, the species forms several isolated parts of the range: montane forests of Carpathians, Crimea, Caucasus; very rare at the coast and on islands of Baltic Sea.
