Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species that inhabits the upper layer of forest soil. It is distributed from the Alps to the Carpathian Mountains ( Paclt 1951, 1954, 1956; Rusek 1964, 1965c; Condé 1984) and also in southern Serbia ( Blesić 1984: D0358). The records for the Western Caucasus ( Rusek 1965a) and the Pontic Mountains (Sendra et al. 2006) should be revised, along with a study of intraspecific variability across its distribution areas.
