Trichoferus campestris is native to eastern Asia including China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Mongolia and eastern Russia.^[1] Individuals or population records also exist in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Western Russia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. These populations are most likely the result of ancient introductions from Asiatic Russia but natural expansion could also be responsible.
