Notes

This species was reported from the Yedi Göller region in Bolu Province as a new record for Turkey ( Kazancı and Ertunç 2008), and then recorded from Eastern Marmara Region ( Şirin et al. 2014). It also is known from adjacent Balkan countries such as Bulgaria and Romania. We encountered the species at four localities, and identified it by pupal gill characters, using the keys of Knoz (1965), Jedlićka et al. (2004) and Yankovsky (2003): the filaments are directed downward at the base and then curve anteriorly; they lie close together proximally.
