Distribution

European. The species was known from the type locality in Central Russia ( Zaitzev 1994) and Norway ( Gammelmo and Søli 2006). New to the Republic of Karelia and Finland.

Ecology

The Karelian specimen was collected in Vaccinium myrtillus type spruce dominated forest. The Finnish sampling site is a north boreal headwater stream with swampy margins, surrounded by old-growth spruce forest. Larvae feed on fungal mycelium in decaying wood ( Zaitzev 1994).

Conservation

Red-listed in Norway (NT, Anonymous 2010, Gammelmo et al. 2010).
