Distribution. Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, Russian Fennoscandia.—Transpalearctic/holarctic? Europe, Asia, Russian Far East, USA, Canada (Kimsey & Bohart 1991, Kurzenko & Lelej 2007). Possibly accidentally introduced to North America (Bohart & Kimsey 1982).
Remarks. The species has declined in the Nordic countries and has been classified as vulnerable in Finland (Paukkunen 2010) and endangered in Norway (Hansen et al. 2010) and Sweden (Cederberg et al. 2010). Benno (1950: 35) reported the species from Lapland (as Spintharis neglecta), but this record is considered doubtful, as the species has a southern distribution in the Nordic countries.
