I would like to know - is it seen now from this angle, that it is Dixa? 5 crowns of hairs present dprsally though some of them damaged.

By the way, in The Netherlands Dixella is more of a stagant water genus, while Dixa is found in streams.

It is like that for most of Europe, except that the species of the Dixa submaculata complex usually is found in springs. Dixella aestivalis can be found in both streams and lakes, but is most common in lakes.
