- In Australia, A. caerulea is similar to A. gravida, but the two species appear to be almost allopatric. Despite being widespread they have never been collected together and only old material has been recorded from the same general locality ('Brisbane'). The two species have different hostplants but both hosts are restricted to wetlands and similarly widespread (Anonymous 2014), so in theory the two Altica species should co-occur. We suspect that the different distributions of Altica caerulea and A. gravida reflect the preference of the former for permanent wetlands and the latter for temporary wetlands.
