What a find! Tschorsnig & Herting give this species a faunistic remark: "Europa bis Sudengland". And while England is about as far from us southern Finnish collectors as Greece (using the straightest airline), this may really be called a surprise! |

Yes and no. Note that summers are relatively hot in Finland, and therefore some southern species occur surprisingly far north, once you hit east. For instance: Peleteria ruficornis from Finland last year was by far a bigger surprise. But still, it is a great find ! Theo |
