Distribution

Palaearctic. Widely disributed in Europe and East Russia ( Chandler 2004, Zaitzev 2003). In Fennoscandia known from Finland ( Hackman 1980) and Sweden ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007). New to the Republic of Karelia.

Ecology

The Karelian specimens were collected in Vaccinium myrtillus type coniferous forests in different succession stages. The Finnish specimen was collected from a swampy lake shore of an eutrophic lake. Immature stages are unknown.

Conservation

Red-listed in Finland, presumed to occur in herb-rich forests (VU, Penttinen et al. 2010).
