Examined material. Lower Austria: Baumgarten an der March 145 m, 48°18’11’’ N, 16°53’8’’ E, 1.6.2020 (1♂), leg. & det. H. Heimburg, vid. D. Doczkal GoogleMaps .

Notes. A single male was collected in an alluvial forest, dominated by Populus nigra (L.), while sunbathing on a standing dead tree of Populus spp. Only a few scattered records from central and south-eastern Europe are known, while this species is more frequent in Scandinavia ( van Steenis et al. 2020).
