status

 

Procladius (Holotanypus) simplicistilus Freeman, 1948

Material examined.

1 pharate adult – male, Lake Gargalau 3 (R 5), 6 July 2023 .

Distribution.

Palaearctic. The species was recorded only from a few countries in West and North Europe, but also from the Far East of Russia ( Ashe and O’Connor 2009).

Habitat.

The ecological requirements of this species are not sufficiently known because of the problematic identification of the pre-imaginal stages. Generally, larvae inhabit stagnant waters, they are resistant to low pH values ( Murray and Baars 2006; Perova 2008; Baars et al. 2014) and salinity ( Kawai et al. 2000).

Remarks.

An adult male with associated exuviae confirms the presence of the species in Romania.
