A single male was collected by sweeping, June 05, 2012, Russia, Kaluga region, Maloyaroslavets district, env. of Rodinka station. This species was described by Bezzi from 1 male from Trentino, the Italian Tirol. According to Chandler, 2001 it remains the only known European specimen. Seems to be pretty abundant in the Russian Far East, though. So if not the second European specimen, it's an extremely rare species in Europe.
