Calomera angulata was the most common tiger beetle species in reservoir ecosystems and dominated all other species in terms of occurrence (Fig. 2).

The species was found in nine out of 11 reservoirs and formed large populations of a single species in five of the habitats (Batalagoda Wewa, Kala Wewa, Mahakanadarawa Wewa, Parakrama Samudra, Thisa Wewa), while in the other four tank systems (Devahuwa Wewa, Kandalama Wewa, Nachchaduwa Wewa, Tabbowa Wewa) it co-occurred with either Myriochila (Monelica) fastidiosa , Cylindera (Oligoma) lacunosa or Lophyra (Lophyra) catena ( Table 2). Even when co-occurring, Calomera angulata was more abundant
