Published data: 6: extraction of soil, 19.7.2017, 1 ♂, leg. P.F. ( ČervenÁ et al. 2020b); 129: pitfall trap, 30.6.2006, 1 ♀, 1 ♂, leg. Z.K. ( KrumpÁl & ChristophoryovÁ 2007).

The species is epigeic, in Slovakia, it was found mainly in leaf litter and soil ( Krumpál & Krumpálová 2003; Christophoryová et al. 2014, 2020b), more rarely on tree trunks ( KrajčovičovÁ & ChristophoryovÁ 2014; Christophoryová et al. 2017b), in the mould of tree hollows and dead wood ( KrajčovičovÁ et al.2016; Christophoryová et al. 2017b).
