Native status

NR

Conservation status

erl: LC; irl: LC

Notes

It is known for only one record, a single individual observed on 06/09/2012 at Calendone pond, Merate LC within the Parco Regionale di Montevecchia e della Valle del Curone (V. Orioli obs.). In Italy, the species has stable populations mainly in the centre and south, but it is highly dispersive and undertakes regular movements towards the north ( Riservato et al. 2014a, Assandri 2019); this helps to explain its occasional occurrence in the study area.
