The distribution is shown using the local administrative place, type of water bodies, and non-aquatic biotopes specifically for the Ukraine and other countries on different continents, such as those that are 'widespread' or 'cosmopolitan' or reasonably common. The distribution maps show the distribution of the described taxa for the Ukraine. Some new nomenclatural combinations and taxa are validated. Original drawings and micrographs of new and of some rare species from Ukraine.
