Distribution

European. Described from Great Britain ( Chandler 1994) and later found from Norway ( Anonymous 2010), Sweden ( Kjaerandsen et al. 2007), Germany ( Chandler 2004), Russia ( Polevoi 2000, Zaitzev 2003) and Finland. In Finland recorded only once before, from the eastern part of the country (Karelia borealis, Polevoi 2001).

Ecology

In Britain the species is associated with wet meadows and peatlands ( Falk and Chandler 2005). Finnish sampling sites are an abandoned field ( Polevoi 2001) and a swampy lake shore ( Matalajärvi). Karelian records are from Cladonia type pine forest and secondary Vaccinium myrtillus type pine dominated forest. Immature stages are unknown. The larval biology of Anatella is mostly unknown, the few known associations are with ascomycetes or other small wood-decay fungi ( Alexander 2002, Ševčík 2010).
