discussion
Remarks. The species has been found from Denmark (only a few records, Sörensson et al. 2012), Lithuania (only one record from Nida 1971, Orlovskytė et al. 2010) and southern Sweden (Scania, only a few localities, Sörensson et al. 2012). In Sweden, C. scutellaris has been classified as endangered (Cederberg et al. 2010). Tumšs & Maršakovs (1970: 93) and later Soon (2004) and Rosa & Soon (2012) reported the species from Latvia based on two female specimens from Koknese 1. VII. 1968. The other specimen was found in Maršakovs’ collection in Riga, and it turned out to belong to C. graelsii. Although the other specimen could not be found, it is probably also misidentified, because Maršakovs made many mistakes in his identifications, and it is likely that both specimens collected from the same locality on the same day and identified in the same way are conspecific.
