Distribution

Palaearctic species widespread in Europe, but with a major gap in occurrence extending from the Baltic Republics to Southern Europe (apart from Romania) and the Balkans.

Notes

Larvae live mainly in lakes but also in flowing waters (e.g. Rossaro et al. 2006). It is the most commonly encountered species of the genus in alpine lakes in the Tatra Mountains ( Bitušík et al. 2006), but apparently missing in alpine lakes of the South Carpathians ( Tatole 2004, Cogălniceanu et al. 2009).
