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.
