This species occurs in Central Europe only, including:

Germany
Austria - main distribution in Steinfeld, Lower Austria

Populations from Ukraine, Moldova, Romania and Russia that were previously considered to be H. striata are actually representing Helicopsis lunulata (Krynicki, 1833) or in some cases Helicopsis filimargo (Krynicki, 1833).
