Did you check Harald’s (Haraldseide) checklist and update in Norwegian Journal of Entomology ?

I've checked it and Artskart (Species Map) ... but you never know. perhaps it is found in an old insect collection...

OK, so I double checked. Mid tibia has one ad bristle, but the second one is broken off !!
Hence, it is the male of W. bohemani (gut feeling all along), and no longer a species new to Norway.
Next time, please don't break off crucial bristles :)
