Explanation of Names
Isotomurus palustris (Müller 1776)
Identification
Similar to I. tricolor.
per Frans Janssens, in I. palustris, in addition to the median stripe, two lateral stripes present (but only in well-pigmented adult specimens and only partly distinct as stripes: only on the abdominal segments, the bilateral pigment is stripe-like. The coxae are pigmented, not the thoracic tergum. In palustris, the lateral stripes are from thorax to abdomen and distinctly on the terga.
Range
unclear due to confusion with related species, described from Europe(1)
Habitat
Typically on banks of still freshwater ―Frans Janssens
