Distribution.
Finland
.—Westpalearctic: northern and central Europe (
Linsenmaier 1959
).
Remarks.
The species is only known from a few localities in western
Finland
, where it occurs in warm sandy habitats, often close to the coast. It has been classified as vulnerable in
Finland
(
Paukkunen 2010
).
Trautmann (1927
,
1930
) reported the species from southern
Sweden
, and later also
Balthasar (1954)
,
Noskiewicz & Pulawski (1958)
,
Móczár (1967)
and
Banaszak (1980)
mentioned the species from the country. We have considered these records as doubtful, as we have not seen any Swedish specimens in collections. The closest known records outside
Finland
are from
Poland
(
Banaszak 1980
),
Belarus
(
Shljachtenok 2006
) and northern
Germany
(
Jakobs & Kornmilch 2007
).
