Comments: According to the catalogue of Silfverberg (2004), the species is recorded from Finland, Norway and Latvia; it is known also from Belarus ( Lopatin, Nesterova 2005) and Leningrad province (Romantsov 2007). This species has not been registered on the territory of the former East Prussia. To all evidence, the species is not uncommon in the region in suitable habitats and absence of data for studied territory was connected with confusions in the determination.
