Camptocercus uncinatus Smirnov, 1971 .

A littoral phytophilous species abundant in autumn, predominantly found in lakes, was rarer in spring. The first record for Central China. C. uncinatus is distributed in southern Europe, Israel, Iraq, Egypt, Ethiopia, Rift Valley of Africa, South-West and East Siberia and Korea ( Sinev 2014a), recently recorded in Hainan (Sinev et al. 2015) and North-East Thailand ( Tiang-Nga et al. 2020). In continental China, the species was recorded in Yunnan Province only ( Sinev et al. 2020). The most frequently reported species of Camptocercus is C. australis Sars, 1988 ( Ji et al. 2015) but this species is confined to Australia ( Sinev 2015a), and all these records most probably belong to C. uncinatus as well. For description see Sinev (2014a), for description of East Asian populations see Kotov et al. (2012).
