A littoral phytophilous species abundant in autumn, predominantly found in lakes, was rarer in spring. The first record for Central China . C. uncinatus is distributed in southern Europe, Israel , Iraq , Egypt , Ethiopia , Rift Valley of Africa, South-West and East Siberia and Korea ( Sinev 2014a ), recently recorded in Hainan (Sinev et al. 2015) and North-East Thailand ( Tiang-Nga et al. 2020 ). In continental China , the species was recorded in Yunnan Province only ( Sinev et al. 2020 ). The most frequently reported species of Camptocercus is C. australis Sars, 1988 ( Ji et al. 2015 ) but this species is confined to Australia ( Sinev 2015a ), and all these records most probably belong to C. uncinatus as well.
