Distribution

European species, known from Central Europe, British Isles ( Laštovka and Ševčík 2006) and Fennoscandia ( Kjaerandsen 2012). The only Finnish record is Hackman’s ( Hackman 1980) checklist, where the species was included with a question mark. Here we confirm two records from Finland (the localities are in the hemiboreal and north boreal zones).

Ecology

The collecting site in Savukoski (Fig. 5c), eastern Lapland, is a headwater stream surrounded by seminatural coniferous forest. Immature stages are unknown.
