Notes

One specimen was found in grass tussocks by Seyrig (1923) in France. Hibernation as an adult does not seem to match the known biology of the genus, which is mainly associated with Diptera ( Jussila et al. 2010) . As this species is also quite common and there are no recent records, new data are needed.

Status: Unverified.

Records: France, 1915-1922.

Hibernacula: LV (1).
