Biological aspects.
The specimens were collected at altitudes from 370 m to 2000 m. Further characteristics of sampling sites are given in
Englmaier et al. (2020)
. In Saudi Arabia, the species occurs in aquatic vegetation in still reaches of small to medium-sized streams with sandy substrate (
Gattolliat et al. 2018
).
Distribution.
Ethiopia (Fig.
