Distribution. Finland, Lithuania.—Westpalearctic: Europe, North Africa, West Asia ( Linsenmaier 1997, 1999).

Remarks. The species has been recorded only from Finland and Lithuania. In Finland, the latest records are from 1960 and the species has been classified as regionally extinct ( Paukkunen 2010). In Lithuania, it has been found from several localities, and the latest record is from 1970 ( Orlovskytė et al. 2010). A recent revision of type material has shown that the name inflammata is not the correct name of this taxon (Rosa, in prep.).
