The species was described from Germany ( Winnertz 1864 ), but was later tentatively considered as a junior synonym of S. crassicornis (Stannius) by Tuomikoski ( Tuomikoski 1966 ). However, status of S. obscura as a valid species was recently reinstated (), and the species is known to occur in Germany, Sweden ( Skane ) ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007b ) and Norway (Kongsvoll) ( Soli and Kjaerandsen 2008 ). The Finnish locality is in NW Lapland, Kilpisjaervi , belonging to the Caledonian mountain range. Ecology Immature stages are unknown. The Finnish locality was a road-side in a mountain birch forest, close to Saana fell.
