After its discovery, it was reported in Palearctic, mainly in the Arctic: Norway (Spitzbergen) (bare soil, sand, grasses (Papaver, Silene, Saxifraga, Draba, Oxyria, Polygonum), 20-350 m a. s. l. - Loof (1971)), Romania (beech - Popovici (1989), Popovici (1993)) and Russia (Arctic tundra - Kuzmin and Gagarin (1990)). Taxon discussion Originally described by Ditlevsen (1927) from Greenland, it was later reported from Spitzbergen (Loof 1971). Nevertheless, Guerrero et al. (2008 a) raised doubt about the true identity of Loof’s material, which, in their opinion, was closer to E. hopedorus, this previously having been re-described by Guerrero and Peňa-Santiago (2007).
