Yes, I've just contacted Ole Karsholt with respect to this paper. The
journal, unfortunately isn't available here.

I'm wondering about the extent of its distribution in Europe. I have seen
records from Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Netherlands. Can you expand
on its distribution? Do you know other areas where it has been found? How
far south does it range? Has it been found in Great Britain

I'm writing a short paper on its discovery here in Nova Scotia and I would
like to put the species in its proper context.
