Remarks

This species has a widespread but patchy known distribution, including Spain, Japan, Korea, China, Thailand, Far-East Russia, Columbia, Australia, and New Zealand (see review of distribution in Escrivà et al. 2012). Escrivà et al. (2012) postulated that F. subacuta is invasive in Spain, with its origin probably centred in East Asia. Korean specimens have previously been recovered from a river, rice field, lotus field, wetland and springs ( Chang et al. 2012; Escrivà et al. 2012). Four localities (3, 4, 26 and 34) yielded this species during our surveys, in a swamp, marsh, irrigation pond and wetland.
