Thank you, Theo. I have some observations on ovipositing of this species, so ID is very desirable.

That is very interesting indeed. How was the ovipositing ? In mud, in water ? Theo |

Two females: in both cases on the small (about 10cm) stone completely surrounded by water of forest stream. Both stones were under direct sun in moment of oviposoting. Females were easy to collect with exgauster only. Sarakya prov., Maden Deresi, Karasu env. 15.06.

On stones. Very interesting. Aoccording to literature usually on plants, but that refers to species in stagnating waters. Theo |
