Distribution

Palaearctic. Widely distributed ( Chandler 2004, Zaitzev 2003). In Fennoscandia recorded from Finland ( Hackman 1980), Norway ( Gammelmo and Søli 2006) and Sweden ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007). In the Republic of Karelia it was only known from the Kivach Nature Reserve ( Zaitzev 2003).

Ecology

Most of the specimens were collected in coniferous forests. Immature stages are unknown. The host range of Exechiopsis includes fruiting bodies of soft terrestrial fungi, and also some wood-encrusting fungi ( Jakovlev 2011a).

Conservation

Red-listed in Finland (NT, Penttinen et al. 2010).
