In the Nordic countries recorded from Sweden and Norway ( Kjaerandsen 2012 ). Perhaps a boreo-montane species ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007 ). New for Finland. Ecology Finnish sampling localities are headwater streams surrounded by pristine or seminatural boreal forests. Immature stages are unknown. In their larval habitats, Brevicornu do not resemble closely related species of Allodia . At least some Brevicornu species develop in dead wood and in soil litter, feeding probably on microfungi ( Jakovlev 2011a ).
