Occurrence: recordedBy: M. N. ; individualCount: 1 ; lifeStage: pupal exuviae ; occurrenceID: BDJ_13073_2; Location: country: Ukraine ; locality: Svydovets, lake Geryshaska ; verbatimElevation: 1584 ; Event: eventDate: 26 -06-19 Distribution Palaearctic species, sporadically distributed in nine European countries. Notes The species is known from mountain peat pools and peatland lakes ( Baars et al. 2014 ); however Ferrarese and Lencioni (2003) found pupae and larvae in the littoral of an alpine lake of glacial origin at an altitude of 1936 m in Central-Eastern Alps. The lake in their study resembled our lake Geryshaska by the Carex-dominated littoral and general character of its surroundings.
