A. mixta is a palearctic lentic dragonfly which was recorded in EXP (2,4,6) and CPB (12); 2 further records were collected during surveys not targeted on odonates (municipality of Premosello Chiovenda , In La Piana, 46.056100 N 8.419550 E, 950 m, 21 Aug 2014). Breeding of this species was not confirmed in the study areas. Half of the observations refers to adults, single or in groups up GoogleMaps

to 15 individuals, hunting over grasslands a long way from water bodies up to 1120 m. This dragonfly was reported as new for the Canton Tessin by De Marmels & Schiess (1978) and as uncommon for Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta by Boano et al. (2007), with only two records located in the alpine region at altitudes not exceeding 530 m. The preliminary Atlas of Italian dragonflies and damselflies reported a wider distribution in Piedmont, including 4 observations for VGNP and surrounding areas, all below 400 m ( Riservato et al. 2014c). Seven additional records were collected during this survey. In Switzerland this dragonfly was not reported over 700 m ( Wildermuth et al. 2005)
