Distribution

Holarctic species widespread in Europe with the exception of the Balkans and a belt extending from the Baltics to Ukraine.

Notes

Belongs to the most widespread and often most abundant species in lakes of the Alps ( Boggero et al. 2006) and the Tatra Mountains ( Bitušík et al. 2006). Cogălniceanu et al. (2009) reported it for several lakes in the Retezat Mts., Romania. We would expect its occurrence in lakes situated at higher altitudes in the Ukrainian part of the Eastern Carpathians.
