Distribution.

This species appears to be quite widespread in the south of Siberia, Russia: Tomsk, Novosibirsk and Kemerovo areas, Altai Province, Republic of Altai, Republic of Khakassia, southern part of Krasnoyarsk Province.

Remarks.

Being highly euryoecic, the species populates various forest habitats (small-leaved, mixed and dark coniferous forests), and also meadows and glades. In the Kyga Biogeocenosis Profile the species prefers low- and mid-mountain chern taiga forests, where its numbers range from 0.5 to 10 ind./m2, but also collected from subalpine sparse growths of Pinus sibirica at about 1903 m a.s.l.
