Notes

Larvae of Zavrelimyia are common components of littoral assemblages of mountain lakes in the Alps ( Boggero et al. 2006, Lods-Crozet et al. 2012, Boggero 2018), South Carpathians ( Tatole 2004) and the Tatra Mountains ( Bitušík et al. 2006). The species is cold-stenothermic and, in addition to lakes, it occurs in mountain streams and rivers (e.g. Laville 1980, Casas and Vilchez-Quero 1993, Rossaro et al. 2006).
