Note. A detriticolous and mycetophagous species, widespread throughout all adjacent regions ( Géhin 1846; Fournel & Géhin 1847; Everts, 1903; Köhler & Klausnitzer 1998; Soldati, 2007; Thomaes et al. 2025). The species is abundant in the Guttland, Saarland ( Lillig 1999) and all departments of Lorraine (F. Soldati in litt.), but appears to be localized in Belgium ( Libbrecht 1988) and the Netherlands.
