Material: VE, Faerder: Saltbukta, Mågerø, 59.15258°N 10.43235°E ± 50m, 7 September 2019, 8L, leg. AF, BOLD: NHMO-ENT-548149, coll. NHMO GoogleMaps ; Moutmarka, 59.06872°N 10.39833°E ± 50m, 8 September 2019, 6L, leg. AF, BOLD: NHMO-ENT-548150,548151, coll. NHMO GoogleMaps .

Biology: The yellow to orange larvae are inquilines in the leaf galls of the wasps Neuroterus albipes (Schenck, 1863) and N. quercusbaccarum (Linnaeus, 1758) ( Hymenoptera : Cynipidae ) on Quercus petraea and Q. robur ( Fagaceae ). Our records are from galls of N. quercusbaccarum on Quercus sp. The larvae live in the narrow space between the disc-shaped gall of the host and the lower surface of the leaf. Univoltine; pupation and hibernation in the soil.

Distribution: Widespread in Europe including Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
