discussion
Remarks. The species has been found from all the Nordic and Baltic countries except Lithuania. It has a wide distribution and the northernmost records are from Finnish Lapland (Obb: Rovaniemi). However, it is usually scarce and found in low numbers. In Finland it has been classified as near threatened (Paukkunen 2010). The species was reported from Denmark by Soon (2004) based on three Danish specimens in ZMUC, and by Rosa & Soon (2012) on the basis of one specimen in NMLS (see data above). Rosa & Soon (2012) also reported the species from Norway based on a Norwegian specimen in NMLS (collected from AK: Oslo Bekkelaget). Also new records are known from southern Norway (see data above). C. subcoriacea was reported from Lithuania by Orlovskytė et al. (2010) and later Rosa & Soon (2012), but this record was based on a misidentified abnormal specimen of C. longula (S. Orlovskytė in litt.). The Latvian specimens were found in the collections of LMSZ in Riga.
distribution
Distribution. Denmark, Estonia, Finland, * Latvia, Norway, Sweden, * Russian Fennoscandia. — Transpalearctic: from central and northern Europe to central Asia and Japan (Linsenmaier 1997). Linsenmaier’s (1997) record from Svalbard is based on a specimen collected from ” W. Spitzbergen, Richerche Bay ” in 16 th of July during A. G. Nathorst's expedition of 1898. The specimen is deposited in Linsenmaier’s collection, Luzern, and most likely it is the northernmost cuckoo wasp ever collected. However, the specimen must have been accidentally imported into the area, as no host species are known to occur on Svalbard, and it is unlikely that it could have flown there by itself.
