Distribution

AT, CH, IT-ITA.

Habitat

Mostly found at alpine levels (grass heaths, rocky slopes, periglacial areas, subnival grassland fragments, Loiseleuria Desv. heaths), open coniferous forests. Altitude range 1100–2950 m a.s.l.

Remarks

Records from Italy are dubious ( Gruber 2009). Meyer (1990) reported a four-year life cycle for this species.
