Monocentrota lundstromi (Fig. 4) is rare and poorly known in Fennoscandia. In Norway it is known from two localities in western part of the country ( Kjaerandsen and Jordal 2007 ) and in Sweden it has been collected from a single locality in the zone of boreonemoral (or hemiboreal) forests ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007 ). No former records from the Republic of Karelia. Finnish records are from southern, eastern and northern parts of the country. Ecology The collecting locality in Kittilae is a large aapamire (see Fig. 5b for a definition of aapamire), dominated by rich fen vegetation. There are some small birch ( Betula pubescens ) trees growing on the mire, but the landscape is otherwise open. The specimens from the Republic Karelia have been collected from populated areas and clearcuts. Often attracted to light, active around dawn ( Hutson et al. 1980 ). Larvae probably develop in decaying wood. The only rearing record is from southern Sweden: adults were collected with an eclector trap over a piece of oak log (Mats Jonsell leg., Jevgeni Jakovlev det. 2005). Conservation Red-listed in Finland (NT, Penttinen et al. 2010 ) and Norway (VU, Anonymous 2010 , Gammelmo et al. 2010 ).
