Remarks. The species is known from Denmark, Estonia and Sweden. It has also been reported from Norway by Trautmann (1927: 36, as Omalus truncatus ), Benno 1950: 27 (as Omalus truncatus ), Balthasar (1954: 89, as Omalus truncatus ), Erlandsson (1971: 88, as Chrysellampus truncatus ), Soon (2004: 45) and Artsdatabanken 2010. However, the record from Norway is based on an old, unlabeled specimen, which might not have been collected from Norway ( Artsdatabanken 2010). In Sweden most records are old and the species has been classified as data deficient in the Swedish red list ( Cederberg et al. 2010, Cederberg 2012). Only one recent record is known from the country (Sm: Bergkvara 14–21.VII.1996, by yellow pan trap, leg. Roy Danielsson). In Denmark only old records are known.
