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

This palearctic lentic species was recorded in EXP (6) and in PDS (15). It is reported as one of the most widespread and abundant damselflies in the plains and hilly areas in Italy, Piedmont, VCO and Canton Tessin, but it becomes less frequent in mountainous regions ( Riservato et al. 2014c; Boano et al. 2007; Clemente et al. 2010; Wildermuth et al. 2005). Its occurrence and abundance seem scarce in VGNP, though further and earlier seasonal surveys are needed to define its distribution.
