Ecology
. –
Cybister dehaanii
lives in permanent water bodies in freshwater swamps and in shallow lakes. In general the water is shaded and rich in plant debris such as leaf litter and rotten trunks (pers. observ. at Tasek Cini/West
Malaysia
). There is no such habitat in
Singapore
. The species is thus considered locally extinct.
Cybister dehaanii
is less frequently attracted to light than other species of the genus. It is quite rare in museum collections.
