Distribution

European. The species was described from the British Isles ( Chandler 1988) and has been since recorded from Spain, France ( Chandler 2004), Norway ( Kjaerandsen and Jordal 2007, Anonymous 2010) and Sweden ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007). New for Finland.

Ecology

Reared from decaying logs in situ (eclector traps). The Finnish collecting sites are a mountain birch forest, a riparian forest and old-growth boreal forests. Biology unknown. The larvae probably develop in lignicolous fungi ( Falk and Chandler 2005).

Conservation

Red-listed in Norway (DD, Anonymous 2010).
