Distribution

Palaearctic. Rather widespread in Europe ( Chandler 2004), also recorded from the Russian Far East (Kuril Islands, Zaitzev 2003), but so far not recorded from other parts of Russia. In the Nordic countries recorded from Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Denmark ( Kjaerandsen 2012, Søli and Rindal 2012). Here reported for the first time from Finland.

Ecology

Immature stages are unknown. Finnish collecting sites are located in Lapland, Savukoski (north boreal zone, riparian forest) and Kilpisjärvi (subarctic zone, mountain birch forest).
