Remarks

Described by the Swedish Entomologist C.G. Thomson from material collected by J. Kriechbaumer from Bavaria, Germany ( Thomson 1890). The distribution covers the Palaearctic, but the species seems to be rarely recorded ( Klopfstein 2014b). The Swedish records are both from mature, semi-open taiga forests.
