This saproxylic species was viewed as very rare in Lithuania ( Pileckis & Monsevičius 1995), only few findings have been known before ( Pileckis & Monsevičius 1995, Ferenca 2003, Inokaitis 2009) ( Fig. 15 ). The status of protected species is given for it in some European countries ( Danish Red Data book 1997, Gärdenfors 2000). In Lithuania this species is insufficient known.
