Alekseev & Sakhnov 2000 (misidentification).

Voucher specimens: 2 [Zehlau, 21 May 2007, 2 exp.].

Kaliningrad Region: Gvard.

Comments: The species was known according to Bercio & Folwaczny (1979) in the northern Poland only, later report (Alekseev & Sakhnov 2000) from the Region was based on inaccurately identified specimens. The species is considered to be locally distributed and rare: it was once sampled in dry elk dung in the raised bog Zehlau.
