Red list status or Habitat Directive status: not listed
Distribution: Rare and known from only a few recent records in the Dniepr Delta (Dyatlova, 2007). In the beginning of the 20th century was recorded in the Danube region (Bartenev, Popova, 1928; Bezvali, 1932) and in the North of Odessa province (Artobolevsky, 1927). The species probably is declining in the area.
Habitat: Standing waters, such as large ponds and small lakes in woodlands, bogs and heaths, but also oxbows, gravel pits, fishponds, sluggish rivers and canals (Dijkstra, 2006). Recorded flying along the banks of the Delta part of a big river. The reed vegetation in that area is very local and scarce. In 30-40 meters from the river’s bank an overflow areas with small reservoirs is situated, the latter might be the actual habitat of the species.
Flight period in the SW Ukraine: no data
