Faunistic note.

The first specimens of Cratyna uliginosoides from Norway were collected and/or identified in our NTI project 2014-2016. Erroneously Heller et al. (2016) listed the specimen with the no. BAB415020 twice: one time correctly as Cratyna uliginosa and one time falsely as paratype of Cratyna uliginosoides . Therefore the record of Cr. uliginosoides in Hedmark is not reliable.

Ecological note.

On woody hillsides and in mountain birch forests; pine forests (e.g. Pinus sylvestris dominated boreal forests with Betula pubescens and Picea abies ); forests with oak, birch, juniper, blueberry and wavy hair-grass; mixed forests (scots pine, Norway spruce, downy birch, common hazel, juniper) with ferns and mosses; mixed forests on steep mountain slopes with crevices and cavities (scots pine, Norway spruce, downy birch, grey alder, rowan, juniper, heather, blueberry, cotton grass, marsh orchids, rushes, mosses); in bogs, otherwise muddy terrain and deadwood-rich carrs along streams and near rivers (downy birch, grey alder, rowan, juniper, rushes, sedges, mosses, lichens); deadwood-rich deciduous forests (common hazel, grey alder, sycamore maple, rowan, birch, ferns, mosses); in gardens with lawn and some larger trees, also on waste. Phenology: May-Sep.
