Notes

Flight period: I July - III August

Rather localised, it has been recorded at a few sites: Pian di Spagna-Lake Mezzola, Parco della Pineta di Appiano Gentile e Tradate, Parco delle Groane, northern part of the Parco della Valle del Lambro CO-LC-MB and Parco Regionale di Montevecchia e della Valle del Curone. It occurs mainly at wet meadows and ephemeral wetlands, such as those found in heathlands, at low elevation (max. 380 m a.s.l.). The lack of historical data could suggest a recent colonisation of the area.
