This species is widely distributed in the whole Baltic and Fennoscandian region and is mentioned for all territories ( Silfverberg 2004 ). It has also been recorded in Belarus ( Alexandrovitch et al. 1996 ). This species is considered to be very rare in Lithuania ( Ferenca et al. 2006 ) and Latvia ( Telnov et al. 2006 ). From the territory of the former East Prussia, it has only been recorded from northern Poland ( Bercio & Folwaczny 1979 ). The larva of this species occurs under flask fungi (Pyrenomycetes) in dead wood of the thin stems and branches of birch and hazel ( Nikitsky et al. 1996 ).
