Global Range
A widespread northern species, but seldom collected (McCune & Geiser 1997), undoubtedly because of its small size and inconspicuous appearance. Known from a few collections in BC, MN, northern Idaho, a few locations in the OR Cascades, 2 specimens from CA, and also from ME, NH, and Alberta, in North America. Also known from much of northern Europe. (Sierk 1964, Folan and Mitchell 1970, Flatberg et al. 1975, Gjerlaugh 1987, Gustafsson 1992, Wirth 1995), and the Crimean Peninsula and the former USSR (Kopacheus'Ka and Blyum 1982, Redchenko 2001).
