Distribution
European. A rare species described from Leningrad Region in northwest Russia (
Ostroverkhova and Stackelberg 1988
) and later found in a few places in Central Europe: Germany, Slovakia, Switzerland (
Chandler 2004
), and from Vologda, Kostroma and Moscow Regions of northwest and central Russia (
Zaitzev 1994
). In Fennoscandia found from the Republic of Karelia (
Polevoi 2000
), Sweden (
Kjaerandsen et al. 2007
) and Norway (
Kjaerandsen and Jordal 2007
). Included in the recent Finnish Red List, although here formally reported as a new species for the Finnish fauna.
Ecology
Finnish collecting localities are a herb-rich coniferous forest with a large proportion of birch and aspen in the southeastern Finland (Rantasalmi) and a sub-arctic mountain birch (
Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii
) forest with herb-rich vegetation in the slopes of Saana Mountain in northwestern Lapland. Immature stages are unknown. Generally,
Bolitophila
larvae develop inside soft fungi (
Jakovlev 2012
).
Conservation
Red-listed in Finland (NT,
Penttinen et al. 2010
).
