Distribution

Scattered records across north and central Europe from Finland to Italy ( Pollet 2013), although the discovery of the closely related Microphorella similis Brooks & Ulrich, 2012 casts some doubt on old distribution data for Microphorella praecox ( Brooks and Ulrich 2012). The presence of Microphorella praecox in Finland was considered doubtful by Kahanpää and Winqvist (2005). This new record confirms the presence of this species in Finland.
