Material examined: Holotype: NORWAY, TELEMARK costal [TEY], Drangedal: Skultrevassåsen [N59.0783°, E09.2608° ± 1000 m], 1♀ 28 May–18 July 2006, Malaise trap, leg. Sverre Kobro; Paratype: NORWAY, ØSTFOLD [Ø], Eidsberg: Mysen, Åsen [N59.51829°, E11.33985° ± 50 m], 1♀ 5 May 2012, leg. Ove SØrlibråten.
