Comments:
This euryhaline species of Corsica is adapted to lagoon conditions with little oygenation. Its sensitivity to cold limits its geographical distribution to the lagoons and estuaries of the southern and eastern part of Corsica (Biguglia, Diana, Palo and the salt marches of Porto-Vecchio) (Ref. 30578). In Annex II of the Directive Habitats Faune-Flore (Ref. 11941). In "Annexe III de la Convention de Berne" (Ref. 40476). Also Ref. 2163, 26100.
Status of threat: Rare (Ref. 74334).
