Distribution
Holarctic. In Europe a boreo-montane species (
Kjaerandsen et al. 2007
). Fennoscandian records are from the northernmost parts of Norway (
Soli
and Rindal 2012
), Sweden (
Kjaerandsen et al. 2007
) and Murmansk region (
Vaeisaenen
1984
), from a total of four localities. Only one previous Finnish record from Kainuu, mid boreal vegetation zone (
Polevoi et al. 2006
).
Ecology
Poorly known species. Finnish collecting sites are an old-growth boreal forest (Kainuu,
Polevoi et al. 2006
) and a headwater stream with rich riparian vegetation, surrounded by a nearly pristine coniferous forest (Joutenoja). Immature stages are unknown.
