Comments: The species is mentioned for all Baltic and Fennoscandian territories except Denmark ( Silfverberg 2004). It is monophagous species on Filipendula ulmaria ( Lindberg 1926; Kangas & Rutanen 1993; Sahlberg 1913; Wanntorp pers. comm. 2010). In the beetle check-list of the former East Prussia ( Bercio & Folwaczny 1979) and of the Kaliningrad region ( Alekseev 2003) this species is absent. This is the first record of the species for the Kaliningrad region.
