description
The habitat of larvae is still unknown. Adults have been collected in a small Carex pool on a mountain slope at 800 m a. s. l. (Andersson 1997), the lake-like part of a sandy riverbed with Carex growth, and in a moderately fastflowing, 10 - m wide river with a stony bed and banks with Salix and Alnus (Andersen et al. 2013). An alpine and wet habitat is suggested by Salmela (2008). Adults are primarily found in July, with only a couple of records from late June.
