Distribution
Widespread in the Palaearctic Region (Andersen 1995). In East Asia: Korea (CN, GG, GB, GN, GW, JJ, JN, Seoul) (Kwon et al. 2001), China (north-western, south-eastern, south-western) (Andersen 1995, Jorigtoo and Qi 1996), Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima Island, Nansei Islands) (Hayashi and Miyamoto 2018, Nakajima et al. 2020), Taiwan (Andersen 1995), Russia (Far East: Primorsky Krai) (Kanyukova 1988).
Biology
In South Korea, M. vittigera inhabited a wide range of freshwater habitats including lakes, reservoirs, rice paddies and brackish ponds. All confirmed habitats were still waterbodies with abundant floating vegetation, some were highly stagnant, densely covered with algal blooms (Fig. 2 A).
Notes
This species was initially recognised from Korea by Tanaka (1937) as Mesovelia orientalis Kirkaldy, 1901, who subsequently provided distributional information from 淸凉里, 京城 (= currently Cheongnyangni, Seoul) (Tanaka 1939). Miyamoto and Lee (1963) and Miyamoto and Lee (1966) provided further occurrence records from Gyeongsang Province and Jeju island, respectively. Until the mid- 1980 s, this species was referred to as M. orientalis in various Korean literature, despite the early synonymisation with Mesovelia vittigera Horváth, 1895 by Horváth (1915). The Ministry of Education (1988) listed both M. orientalis and M. vittigera and provided a new Korean vernacular name for M. vittigera; however, the figure of M. vittigera (p. 410, fig. 14) actually depicts a nymph of a Mesovelia species, making the identification unstable. Yoon (1995) adopted the same information (p. 111, figs. 4-28 and 29) without modification. In contrast, Lee and Kwon (1991) and Kwon et al. (2001) listed only M. vittigera, recognising M. orientalis as invalid. This information was followed by later Korean checklists (Lee et al. 2013, Korean Society of Applied Entomology and The Entomological Society of Korea 2021, National Institute of Biological Resources 2023).
Historical distributional records of Mesoveliidae in most Korean literature (except for M. egorovi in Lee et al. (1994)) only refer to M. vittigera (see Kwon et al. (2001) for bibliographic reference). However, our survey has shown that M. vittigera and M. thermalis share the same habitat in some affirmed cases and identification of known Mesovelia species in Korea requires microscopic observation of both sexes. Therefore, re-examination of previously reported sites of M. vittigera in Korea will be critical to clarify the distribution of Mesovelia species in South Korea.
