Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology:
Occurs in forested streams and rivers. Larvae cling to riparian vegetation and tree roots. Adults are active in gloomy forest canopies and females have been observed to lay eggs during an overcast afternoon. The flight period is from May to October in south China.
Systems: Terrestrial; Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Extensive loss of lowland forest and and hill forest across Indochina and southern China has removed vast tracks of suitable habitat for this species over past decades. The remaining populations are fragmented and have been predominantly recorded from protected forest nature reserves.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: Protection and appropriate management of existing forested nature reserves and development of additional secondary forested areas will help protect this species.
