Remarks. Six female specimens were recovered from the root mat below a willow tree in the far north shore of the lake. This species is found in rice fields and irrigation ponds in Japan ( Okubo 2004), and maybe is an occasional visitor to the lake, washed in from surrounding fields. Locality ( Fig. 1 ): 3.
