Distribution.

Palaearctic species. Recorded in the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Slovakia, Switzerland and Russia (ER). New record for Romania.

Biology.

Very rare species with early flight period. The individuals are collected only in IV and V and were almost exclusively females. Larval biology and host fungus are unknown. Tkoč and Barták (2013) recorded this species in numbers from a pyramidal (emergence) trap baited with dead wood.
