Distribution

European. Very rare species, described from France (as Allodiopsis bayardi , Matile 1971) and found later from Central Europe ( Chandler 2004), Russian Karelia ( Polevoi 2000) and Sweden ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007). Included in the Red List of Finnish species, here reported formally for the first time from Finland.

Ecology

Immature stages are unknown. Based on the ecology of related genera, the larvae of Synplasta probably develop in soft macrofungi. The Finnish collecting site is a calcareous herb-rich forest.

Conservation

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