Distribution

Holarctic. In Europe a boreo-montane species ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007). Fennoscandian records are from the northernmost parts of Norway ( Søli and Rindal 2012), Sweden ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007) and Murmansk region ( Väisänen 1984), from a total of four localities. Only one previous Finnish record from Kainuu, mid boreal vegetation zone ( Polevoi et al. 2006).

Ecology

Poorly known species. Finnish collecting sites are an old-growth boreal forest (Kainuu, Polevoi et al. 2006) and a headwater stream with rich riparian vegetation, surrounded by a nearly pristine coniferous forest (Joutenoja). Immature stages are unknown.
