Distribution

European. A rare species described from Leningrad Region in northwest Russia ( Ostroverkhova and Stackelberg 1988) and later found in a few places in Central Europe: Germany, Slovakia, Switzerland ( Chandler 2004), and from Vologda, Kostroma and Moscow Regions of northwest and central Russia ( Zaitzev 1994). In Fennoscandia found from the Republic of Karelia ( Polevoi 2000), Sweden ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007) and Norway ( Kjaerandsen and Jordal 2007). Included in the recent Finnish Red List, although here formally reported as a new species for the Finnish fauna.

Ecology

Finnish collecting localities are a herb-rich coniferous forest with a large proportion of birch and aspen in the southeastern Finland (Rantasalmi) and a sub-arctic mountain birch ( Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii) forest with herb-rich vegetation in the slopes of Saana Mountain in northwestern Lapland. Immature stages are unknown. Generally, Bolitophila larvae develop inside soft fungi ( Jakovlev 2012).

Conservation

Red-listed in Finland (NT, Penttinen et al. 2010).
