Distribution.

Native to the Palaearctic region, widespread in Europe and reported from China, Iran, Turkey, and the Russian Far East ( Schülke and Smetana 2015). Adventive in Canada (Ontario).

Canadian records.

Ontario: Rouge National Urban Park, 29-Apr-2013 to 03-May-2013 (1 ex, CBG); Rouge National Urban Park, 03-Jun-2013 to 09-Jun-2013 (1 ex, CBG).

Diagnostic information.

Female sternite VIII elongate to narrow, scarcely emarginate apex, as in Fig. 16B . Aedeagus distinctive in lateral view, as in Fig. 16A .

In Central Europe, this species occurs mostly in riparian habitats and in wet meadows ( Assing 2012). One of the Canadian specimens was collected with a Malaise trap in a forest patch; the other was caught in a riverside pitfall trap.

Comments.

As the Nearctic fauna of Lathrobium is unrevised, comparisons with North American species are not yet possible.
