Notes

Flight period: III May - II September

The species is widespread in the hilly areas and mountains of the study area, as far south as Parco di Montevecchia e della Valle del Curone, being completely absent from the Monza and Brianza Province. It frequents small, shaded streams and rivulets in forested areas, between ca. 190 and 1510 m a.s.l. Owing to the difficulties of separation from the congeneric C. boltonii , the species could have been slightly under-recorded, especially at lower elevations.
