Remarks. In Romania, this species was identified at 24 sites at an elevational range of 79–1941 m a.s.l. (Fig. 1). It was found from March to October in streams, lakes and ponds. All the specimens examined were macropterous.

Gerris maculatus belongs to “ lacustris group” along with G. gibbifer, the western Mediterranean G. brasili Poisson, 1941, G. lacustris and two more eastern Palaearctic species (see Andersen 1993, Damgaard et al. 2014). Except for G. lacustris, which is dimorphic and includes both macropterous and brachypterous adults, and G. gibbifer with macropterous and very rare submacropterous morph, all other taxa in this group are considered exclusively macropterous (Andersen 1993). This accords with our findings in regard to G. maculatus, for which only the macropterous morph is known. This species is probably bivoltine or multivoltine, but further research is needed to clarify its life history traits.

Distribution. West Palaearctic: from Spain, France and Italy to Balkan Peninsula and Ukraine; Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Anatolia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Israel (Schumacher 1914; Josifov 1958, 1963, 1970; Zimmermann 1982; Andersen 1995; Putshkov & Putshkov 1996; Strpić 1997; Protić 1998; Gogala 2003; Damgaard 2008a; Fent et al. 2011; Kment & Beran 2011; Aukema et al. 2013; Damgaard et al. 2014; Csabai et al. 2017; Taybi et al. in prep.; this paper). New species for Hungary, Montenegro and Slovenia. First detailed localities for Romania and Serbia. For its distribution in southeastern Europe, see Fig. 11.
