99. Eretes griseus ( Fabricius, 1781) - Miller, 2002: 247-272.

Material examined. – 3 specimens – Central catchment area - 2 ex., Rifle Range Road , 22 Jul.1982, coll. D. H. Murphy ( ZRC). Other areas - 1 ex., Kent Ridge Pond , 20 Jul.1982, coll. D. H. Murphy ( ZRC) .

Distribution. – Oriental and East Palaearctic realms ( Miller, 2002). Singapore!

Ecology. – This species occurs in large, unshaded standing water bodies with sandy or gravelly bottom, and without or sparse aquatic vegetation ( Fernando, 1964). In Southeast Asia, Eretes griseus is therefore more common in cultivated areas than in forested areas. Eretes griseus is a good flyer and often attracted to light.

Remarks. – This species is sold as food in Northern Thailand ( Chen et al., 1998).
