Przhiboro, 2017: 384, 389 (general: larvae are aquatic psammorheophilous forms inhabiting sandy sediments at the bottom of rivers in sites with strong current; in the study area, the larvae of Hexatoma were common on sandy and gravel substrata in rivers, medium-sized to large, on sites with water height 0.3 to 2 m, but they were not found in cold small rivers like Kemzelka; it is probable that other species of Hexatoma inhabit river bottom in the same region as well, considering that Hexatoma nubeculosa (Burmeister, 1829) occurred as adults at the banks of the same rivers; hence, more larvae associated with adults are necessary; rearing).
