Habitat and distribution Species with a strong preference for beds in watercourses, up to the level of the water. It has been collected in alluvial subsurface habitats ( Sendra et al. 2017a ). C. ( C. ) fragilis is a widespread species, in Europe alone it has been quoted from 400 localities (Supplementary file 1). It occurs from the Euro- Mediterranean zone to North America ( Silvestri 1933b ; Condé, 1956a , 1973 ; Bareth & Condé 1958 ; Condé & Geeraert 1962 ). In the northern territories, it has been found in the British Isles ( Bagnall 1918b ) and in the southern Scandinavian Peninsula ( Silvestri 1912 ; Börset 1968 ; Olsen 1996 ); in continental Europe from France to Poland ( Denis 1930 ; Wygodzinsky 1941b ; Condé 1947h ; Paclt 1956 , 1961a ; Stach 1964 ), in the Pyrenees ( Condé & Mathieu 1957 ), in the Iberian Peninsula ( Sendra & Moreno 2004 ), in the Italian Peninsula ( Ramellini 1995 , 2000 ), in the Anatolian Peninsula (Sendra et al. 2006), and, finally, in N Africa ( Algeria ; Condé 1947g ) and the Canary Islands ( Sendra & Baez 1986 ).
