DISTRIBUTION. Belize, Guatemala, Mexico ( YOUNG, 1990; MILLER, 2016). A common species in Belize, known from the Cayo, Corozal, Stann Creek and Toledo districts ( Fig. 2 F View Fig ).
HABITAT. Bidessonotus mobilis was collected in various types of lentic habitats as well as in small, slow flowing and intermittent streams. This species seems to be rare in sun exposed habitats with exposed substratum in the savannah. In the Bladen Nature Reserve and Deep River Forest Reserve this species was found abundant in shaded ponds with a thick layer of leaf litter and other organic debris in the forest ( Fig. 6 View Fig ) whereas it was absent in the exposed ponds in the adjacent savannah (SCHEERS, unpublished data).
