The locality is Debrecen, Hungary. John identified this species for me last year from the same location.

As cherry and sour cherry agriculture is quite strong here in Hungary, the occurrance of this species was observed by the farmers in 2005. The occurance of this species has been for the first time published last year in Hungarian agricultural journals. Allegedly the first individual was caught in 2002, after which the species has not been observed until 2005. In 2006 it was common at many localities in Hungary.
