We report the finding of the flatbug Aradus laeviusculus Reuter, 1875 in the Koli National Park (North Karelia, Finland). One mature female was caught by using a window trap during the period 22.VII.-24.VIII.1996 in a slash-and burning plot that had been burned earlier in summer 1996. A. laeviusculus has been listed as extinct in Finland, the last previous record being from the year 1949 (Lammi, South Finland).
