Distribution

Holarctic. The species is known to occur widely in the Nearctic region, but in the Palaearctic recorded only from southern Sweden ( Jaschhof and Jaschhof 2009).

Ecology

Perhaps a pyrophilous species ( Jaschhof and Jaschhof 2009), a hypothesis supported by our observation. Swedish locality was a forest-fire site in Tyresta ( Jaschhof 2002, Jaschhof and Jaschhof 2009). Finnish locality, identical to Eomastix incerta , see above.
