New record

SWEDEN: 1 ♂, 1 ♀, Torsås, Söderåkra, Påboda, 56.434723° N, 16.070844° E, Trap ID 2046, collecting event 2058, Malaise trap, 1 Sep.–3 Oct. 2008, leg. Swedish Malaise Trap Project ( NHRS).

Distribution

Great Britain, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine (Crimea), Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, Hungary, Russia (North Ossetia, Tuva, Buryatia), Mongolia ( Dominiak & Szadziewski 2010).

Biology

The specimens were collected in a small village garden. Larvae can be found in both fresh and salt-water habitats and are common on inland saline meadows in Poland (Dominiak 2012).

Remarks

The association of the sexes made by Remm (1972) has previously been considered incorrect. The associated female probably belongs to D. unguistyla Remm, 1972 ( Dominiak & Szadziewski 2010). The female associated in this study by COI sequences differs from the original description in lacking long cerci and in having a subgenital plate with a lumen. According to Dominiak & Szadziewski (2010) the type material is unavailable.
