Distribution (Fig. 2). A circum-Mediterranean species that is known from North Africa, Mediterranean Europe, and Anatolia (Illies 1978). In Algeria, it was listed from several localities above 450 m by Aubert (1956), Aït-Mouloud (1987) and Lounaci (1987). In Morocco, the species has been collected in the Middle and High Atlas (Aubert 1956, 1961, Meinander 1967, Giudicelli & Dakki 1984, Mohati 1985), in the Rif (Sánchez-Ortega & Azzouz 1998, Errochdi & El Alami 2008), the Central Plateau (El Agbani 1984) and eastern Morocco (Chergui et al. 1990).

Ecology. A potamobiont species that occurs in warmer biotopes of low and medium altitudes. It is a predatory species more abundant in rivers than springs and frequenting biotopes with stones and gravel substrate. The adults emerge in late spring (V, VII) (Berthélemy 1973, Sánchez-Ortega & Azzouz 1998).
