Distribution

European. The species was described from Spitsbergen ( Holmgren 1869) and has since been recorded in Europe from the Kola Peninsula in Russia ( Lundström 1914, as Boletina longicauda , Zaitzev 1994), Sweden ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007) and Norway ( Søli and Rindal 2012), and also from Latvia, Germany and Austria ( Chandler 2004) indicating an arctic to boreal–mountainous distribution. Only three records exist so far from Finland, from Muonio ( Lundström 1912b, as Boletina longicauda , leg. R Frey 1911), Pelkosenniemi and Salla, all from the north boreal zone. New to the Republic of Karelia.

Ecology

The Karelian specimen was collected in Vaccinium myrtillus type sprucedominated forest. The Finnish specimen from Salla was collected from a stream valley surrounded by old-growth boreal forest. Immature stages are unknown.
