biology_ecology
Biology The specimens were collected in an area with shore meadows on the west coast in the south of Sweden. The larva inhabits shallow water bodies; both natural and artificial and preimaginal stages are very tolerant of desiccation and temperature fluctuations (Zilahi-Sebess 1931; Valkanov 1941; Disney 1975).
discussion
Remarks The male keys out as D. bilineata in Dominiak (2012). The associated female has the subgenital plate with broad lateral processes and a more hearth-shaped notum in contrast to the isosceles triangularshaped notum of D. bilineata shown in Dominiak (2012).
