Mus. Zool. Polonici, 77–79. General distribution. Brazil , Argentina ( Damgaard et al. 2012 ). Habitat. Little information exists regarding the habitat associations of this species. Jaczewski (1928) reported the first collections of M. bila from a very shallow and small pool in a forest. Subsequent reports of collections were made from lentic habitats, on floating aquatic plants in small pools ( Harris & Drake 1941 ) and at the margins of unshaded marshlands with dense vegetation ( Torres et al. 2007 ). This species was also collected from lotic habitats, in standing or slow-moving water along the margins of streams and artificial channels with emergent and submerged vegetation ( Fernández & López Ruf 2006 ) and in shaded streams without aquatic vegetation ( Torres et al. 2007 ). In INR, specimens were collected from the margins of the Iberá Lagoon in shallow waters with emergent and floating vegetation (Estévez et al. 2003).
