pronounced sexual dimorphism. In males, tergite VIII weakly concave to deeply excised,
antero-laterally with long processes; sternite VIII much longer than tergite VIII, posteriorly
convex, truncate, or excised, and often with characteristic arrangement of long black setae;
median lobe of aedeagus rather large in relation to body size, with bulbous capsule,
pronounced crista apicalis, very long crista proximalis, and usually with distinct long
sclerotized basal structures in internal sac. Paramere of very intricate structure, apical lobe
short, broad, and flattened. In females, tergite VIII posteriorly truncate, broadly concave, or
with distinct median excision, anterolaterally with shorter processes than in male; sternite
VIII slightly longer than tergite VIII, posteriorly broadly convex, in the middle sometimes
weakly concave, with dense and short marginal setae. Spermatheca with moderately to
strongly enlarged distal portion, more or less straight median portion, and coiled proximal
portion (usually 1–2 coils).
Representatives of the genus Amischa are found in wet places, on river banks and lakes
shores in plant remains, in moist grasslands, in a flooded willow thicket near rivers, in mixed
forests, and on calcareous slopes, both on flat meadow and steppe areas, and high in the
mountains, partly together with other Amischa species. The beetles fly to light traps at dusk.
