Distribution

Palaearctic. Widely distributed in Europe. Many of the older records were made as Orfelia tristis Lundström, a junior synonym of Orfelia lugubris ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007). The species occurs in central and northern Sweden ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007), the White Sea shore in Russian Karelia ( Humala and Polevoi 2008), and Norway ( Kjaerandsen 2012). New for Finland.

Ecology

Finnish records are from rich spring fens and headwater streams surrounded by coniferous forests. Karelian specimens were collected in riparian habitats of the White Sea. Immature stages are unknown. Generally, Orfelia species are web-spinners chiefly associated with dead wood ( Jakovlev 2012).
