In Europe previously recorded from the Russian regions of Kirov and Perm ( Zhelochovtsev and Zinovjev 1996), but in iNaturalist (2022) more western Russian records are to be found (Kursk, Moscow, and St Peterburg Regions). The species is widespread in the East Palaearctic, from W. Siberia to Sakhalin, Japan, and northern China ( Mallach 1936; Yoshida 2017). Host plant is Sambucus racemosa , including the closely related Japanese S. sieboldiana ( Sakurai et al. 2009). The larvae were beaten from lower branches of S. racemosa in a shady habitat.
