Notes

S, c, e

Species with European distribution, in Britain and Ireland found beneath the bark of dead deciduous tree trunks and stumps ( Blower 1985). It appears to be predominantly or entirely synanthropic in most other countries, occurring primarily in cities and cultivated areas ( Kime and Enghoff 2017). The same applies to the first findings of the species in Slovakia, where it was found in city parks.
