Occurrence: recordedBy: M. N. ; individualCount: 4 ; lifeStage: pupal exuviae ; occurrenceID: BDJ_13073_1; Location: country: Ukraine ; locality: Svydovets, lake Geryshaska ; verbatimElevation: 1584 ; Event: eventDate: 26-06-19 Distribution Palaearctic species distributed in Europe, Far East, Near East and North Africa. 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 ( Bitusik 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 ).
