Distribution

Palaearctic. Described from Western Siberia ( Ostroverkhova 1979) and later recorded only from southern Sweden ( Kurina et al. 2004, Kjaerandsen et al. 2007). A record from Germany ( Plassmann and Schacht 2002) is incorrect ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007). Here reported formally for the first time from Finland; the records presented here are from the hemiboreal, south boreal, north boreal and subarctic zones.

Ecology

In Finland collected from swamps, herb-rich forests and from a subarctic mountain birch forest. Immature stages are unknown.

Conservation

Included in the Finnish Red List (DD, Penttinen et al. 2010), but reported here formally as a new species for Finland.
