Habitat

Verhoeff (1910) stated he found this species in a very wet, fibrous moss sprinkled with spring-water. A very unusual habitat for millipedes after which he named the new species (fonticulus = little fountain or spring). Subsequently found in forests, dwarf bush vegetation grassland, screes and periglacial areas. From 240–2830 m a.s.l. in Switzerland. Meyer (1979) studied the ecology of H. fonticulorum at 2050 m a.s.l. in Tyrol, Austria and found that the lifecycle spans three years. See also caption to Fig. 2.
