erl: LC; irl: LC

Notes

Flight period: III April - III October

The species is fairly widespread in the study area, up to 800 m a.s.l. It occurs in a variety of lotic habitats, though it seems more abundant along the course of the main rivers and streams, such as Adda (both north and south of Lake Como), Molgora LC-MB, Lambro, Seveso and Lura CO, also in extensively urbanised areas.
