Note: In Latvia this species is not recorded more than 100 years. Heyden (1903) mentioned this species from SE environs of Rīga, ca. 50 verst upstream the Daugava [Düna] River. The occurrence of the species in the Latvian fauna needs confirmation. According to the catalogue of Silfverberg (2010), the species is mentioned for Denmark (as introduced species) and Lithuania, where it is recorded from Ventes ragas, Šilutė district (W Lithuania) (Šablevicius 1995). It is also known from the Kaliningrad region ( Alekseev 2010, Alekseev & Bukejs 2010, Alekseev et al. 2012).
