Conservation and breeding status: LC (EU), LC (IT), LC (MED), B

This European lotic damselfly was observed along San Bernardino river in EXP (6). No further records came from higher sites, due to it being characteristic of lowlands, main valley bottoms and hills in Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta ( Boano et al. 2007) and of its larvae not suited to inhabiting cold mountain streams ( Riservato et al. 2014c). In Piedmont and in the adjacent Canton Tessin the subspecies C. s. caprai is reported ( Boano et al. 2007; Wildermuth et al. 2005).
