Habitat Boreo-nemoral habitats in the east from taiga in the north, through mixed coniferous and broad-leaved woods to forest-steppe in the south. Some particular assemblages mentioned are swamp and marshy woodland with Carex, Filipendula, Iris, Oxalis; Alder (Alnus) carr (Ribeso -nigri Alnetum, Glutinoso - Alnetum aegopodiosum; Betula, Fagus, Carpinus (Carpinetum -aegopodosium); Pinus forest in Russia (Prisnyi 2001). Cemeteries. Remarks A forest-dwelling species found from the taiga in the north down to the forest-steppe belt of Russia and the Ukraine. This European species also occurs in the Altai Region of Siberia and possibly Kazakhstan (Mikhaljova et al. 2013). It is very unusual to find a species that occurs in Europe further east than the Ural Mountains.
