Remarks A forest-dwelling species found from the taiga in the north down to the forest-steppe belt of Russia and the Ukraine. This European species also occurs in the Altai Region of Siberia and possibly Kazakhstan (Mikhaljova et al. 2013). It is very unusual to find a species that occurs in Europe further east than the Ural Mountains.
