It is found in Europe from the North edge of the Mediterranean to southern Scandinavia. Further east, the distribution extends east across the Palearctic to Central Asia and Siberia. The species occurs everywhere in Central Europe and is found in the lowlands, as well as in the central uplands and in the Alps up to about 1500 meters above sea level.
