The species is currently known from Hungary, France, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey (Cook, 2019). REMARKS. Kinzelbachus is a monytypic genus only known by its female and larva. Characters that define Kinzelbachus include a brood opening that is much further towards the apex than in Stylops, giving it a short labium and metathoracic spiracles that are clearly visible (Cook, 2019). Only Melitturga clavicornis (Latrielle, 1808) has been recorded as Kinzelbachus friesei host. In European Russia Melitturga clavicornis is a rare species.
