discussion

Remarks. Tumšs (1976) reported the species from Latvia (two females from Kalngale and Krāslava), and later also another specimen was found from the country (see data above). Published records from Finland (Trautmann 1927, 1930, Balthasar 1954, Hellén 1935, Haupt 1957), Sweden (Dahlbom 1831, 1854, Zetterstedt 1840, Trautmann 1927, Jansson 1934) and Russian Fennoscandia (Humala 1997) are based on erroneous synonymization of C. rutilans with C. splendidula, or misidentifications. The closest known records outside Latvia are from Poland (Banaszak 1980, Szczepko & Wiśniowski 2009) and northern Germany (Jakobs & Kornmilch 2007, Smissen 2010 c).
