erl: LC; irl: LC

Notes

Flight period: I February - I November

Based on historic data, this species appears to have been widely distributed in the lowlands and hills of the whole study area, in a variety of habitats comprising permanent and ephemeral marshlands up to ca. 400 m a.s.l. Now it holds a rather patchy distribution, possibly suggesting a local decline, with a few strongholds mainly concentrated at Pian di Spagna-Lake Mezzola and the heathlands of CO-MB. Available data are referred to the whole life cycle, including winter, with the exception of December and January, when the species is less easily detectable.
