Records associated with mangroves: Okukubi River, Kin Town, Okinawa Island, Japan, algae on knee roots of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and from algae on mangrove forest floor (Karasawa & Aoki 2005).

Remarks: Subías (2004) transferred this species to the genus Thalassozetes but did not provide any explanation for this transfer and only published it in his online catalogue therefore this taxonomic act should be rejected (Pfingstl & Schuster 2012a).
