Donskoye, Galichya Gora Nature Reserve, Morozova Gora, 52.604168°N, 38.916552°E, Stipa capillata steppe, 15.VII 1985, V. T. Kuznetsova leg. – 1♀ of Andrena (Hoplandrena) rosae Panzer, 1801 (K.S. Ivlev det. (it was compared by copies, rechecked by A. Z. Osychnyuk)) stylopized by 2♀ of Stylops cf. aino (between IV and V tergites) (A.M. Ostrovsky det.). DISTRIBUTION. Russia (first record). Japan (type locality), Korea (Kifune & Maeta, 1990; Cook, 2019). REMARKS. This species was described from Japan, where its host Andrena (Hoplandrena) rosae also occurs (Kifune & Maeta, 1990). Whether or not the Stylops species parasitizing the European A. (H.) rosae is the same as the one in Japan and Korea needs to be verified, unfortunately no DNA barcodes are available for Stylops aino nor for the European parasite of A. (H.) rosae. In European Russia A. (H.) rosae is a common species.
