(Fieber, 1861)

Glaenocorisa propinqua is a species in the family Corixidae ("water boatmen"), in the order Hemiptera ("true bugs, cicadas, hoppers, aphids and allies").[1][2][3]
The distribution range of Glaenocorisa propinqua includes Europe, Northern Asia (excluding China), and North America.[2] It can be found in lakes, and its distribution is influenced by the presence of fish, which prey upon the larvae. [4] G. propinqua prey upon Holopedium gibberum.[5]
