New species for the fauna of the Kaliningrad region. This species is widely distributed in the whole Baltic and Fennoscandian region except
Denmark
(
Silfverberg 2004
), and it is also recorded from
Belarus
(
Alexandrovitch et al. 1996
). The species is considered to be rare in
Lithuania
(
Ferenca et al. 2002
) and
Latvia
(
Bukejs et al. 2009
). The species is unknown from the territory of the former East Prussia according to
Bercio & Folwaczny (1979)
. The beetle feeds on Compositae (
