The recorded global distribution of Pristiphora angulata comprises only Norway ( LØNNVE 2009), Finland (type locality: southern Finland), Estonia and northwest Russia ( TAEGER et al. 2006). Host plants are Spiraea species , S. chamaedryfolia being a main host ( LØNNVE 2009; A. Liston, personal observations). No Spiraea species is native in Fennoscandia or Germany, and the geographic origin of the neozoon P. angulata is unclear.
