Examined material: Recorded from Zelenogradsk district, 4 km E setllement Russkoe, 54°83´56´´N 20°7´79´´E, 11.V.2010 (2 exx, under bark of the standing dead spruce in the mixed forest, leg. V. Alekseev) .

Comments: According to the catalogue of Silfverberg (2004), this species has been recorded from all Fennoscandian and Baltic territories except Denmark. It is noted for Belarus too ( Alexandrovitch et al. 1996). On the territory of the northern part of the former East Prussia, it has been reported from Königsberg [Kaliningrad] only ( Bercio & Folwaczny 1979). This locally ocurried in the Kaliningrad region species is associated with the old coniferous trees and it can be a cohabitant with the next species.
