The distribution of Thanatophilus porrectus is discussed and mapped. It is established that earlier records for Armenia actually refer for Turkey. The species is registered for the first time for Kazakhstan (the Western Tien Shan Mts.) and for the first time reliably recorded in Russia based on finding in the Greater Caucasus Mts. All previous records from Russia (Primorsky Krai) are considered as probably erroneous.
