Tumšs); Vecborne, 22.VI.1972, 1 ♀ (V. Tumšs). Distribution. Estonia, Finland, * Latvia, Lithuania.—Westpalearctic: central and northern Europe (Niehuis 2000). Remarks. Only one old record is known from central Finland (Sb: Vehmersalmi 1942 1♀) (Paukkunen et al. 2009). It is possible that the Finnish specimen was accidentally introduced with e.g. imported timber. The closest populations are in Estonia, where the species is widespread (Soon 2004). Eight localities are known from Lithuania (Orlovskytė et al. 2010). The Latvian specimens were found in LMSZ in Riga.Published as part of Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas & Ødegaard, Frode, 2014, Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae), pp. 1-67 in Zootaxa 3864 (1) on page 41, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3864.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/493043
