Remarks.
Lispe is also a large genus, found in all biogeographic regions, with 31 species known from Europe and 14 from the Balkan Peninsula. Adults are predaceous and can be found around standing and running water, where they actively hunt other small invertebrates even in hot, sunny, open habitats ( Werner and Pont 2006). Larvae are semi-aquatic and also predaceous, living in organic sand and mud ( Skidmore 1985).
