Distribution: China (Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang *, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Xizang); Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Slovakia, Czechia, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, Finland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Nortrh Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Syria, Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan (South Kazakhstan), Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan (Sogd), Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Mongolia, Russia (European part, Urals, Siberia, Far East).

Floral association: Lotus corniculatus, Trifolium sp., Dorycnium sp. (Fabaceae), Thymus sp. (Lamiaceae), Centaurea sp., Cirsium sp. (Asteraceae) (Banaszak & Romasenko, 1998); Medicago sativa (Fabaceae).

Remarks: This species is very variable in color, and geographic forms have been recognized as subspecies, including two taxa described from China from Xizang (himalayense) and Qinghai (zaidamense). As with many other variable anthidiine species (see Kasparek, 2020), this species or species complex requires global revision based on study of both morphology and molecular diagnostic characters.
