Distribution. Great Britain, Norway, Estonia, Russia (Karelia, Leningrad Oblast), Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, France, Andorra, Georgia.

Discussion. Dasyhelea bilobata is a very distinctive species with uniquely bilobed gonostyli and very long apicolateral processes on tergite nine. These diagnostic features mentioned in Kieffer‘s original description (1915) and subsequently presented in a illustration (1925c), indicates that D. luteiventris is a new junior synonym of D. bilobata. This species is a European faunal element. Immature stages are found in peatbogs and the littoral zone of lakes, and in mosses or liverworts that blanket rocks along lake margins.
