Description
Ptychoptera hugoi
This species has a markedly northern distribution and is recorded only in Norway, Finland and Sweden north of 66° latitude (Fig. 6B). According to Zwick (2020), it is further distributed in the Eastern Palearctic and the Nearctic region.
The habitat of larvae is still unknown. Adults have been collected in a small Carex pool on a mountain slope at 800 m a.s.l. (Andersson 1997), the lake-like part of a sandy riverbed with Carex growth, and in a moderately fastflowing, 10-m wide river with a stony bed and banks with Salix and Alnus (Andersen et al. 2013). An alpine and wet habitat is suggested by Salmela (2008).
Adults are primarily found in July, with only a couple of records from late June.
