This species has been noted as very rare for Lithuania by S. Pileckis and Vidm. Monsevičius (1995) basing on the report of F. Lentz (1879) and probably on specimen from Jonava district collected by S. Pileckis. The numerous later records scattered in various publications ( Tamutis & Zolubas 2001, Ferenca et al. 2006, 2007, Šablevičius 2003, 2004, Inokaitis 2009) and new records in this article ( Fig. 9) show that this species is not very rare in Lithuania.
