* Eribolus slesvicensis Becker, 1910 View in CoL

Material examined: Karelia. Kk: 5 males, 11 females, Kartesh , 15.VII.1996, 18.VI.1997, 2.VII.1997, Przhiboro ( ZISP) .

Distribution: Eurasian species, eastward to Mongolia. In Fennoscandia, it was recorded only from few southern provinces of Sweden and Norway ( Nartshuk & Andersson 2013). Our record extends the species range far north.

Biological notes: Wetlands, associated with reed beds ( Phragmites australis ) especially at the sea and lake shores. Tschirnhaus (1981) listed Carex and Bolboschoenus maritimus (L.) Palla as host plants. Ismay (1980) recorded the species from saline habitats in England. Our specimens were collected only in Phragmites stands at the White sea shore (upper intertidal zone).
