Ecological data: In the area of Arcutino the species is occurs on the Black Sea Coast among sands dunes. The ecological conditions during the summer season are extremal, strongly expressed xerotermics around the sand surface, but sometimes there is typical a high aerial humidity over the dunes because of proximity of the sea. The winter is soft with a little snow and relatively high temperatures. The animals are met mostly among microhabitats of psamophityc and halophilyc grassy vegetation. During the unactive periods in the summer (at time of a long dry, high temperatures in the day, low aerial humidity) and in the winter, the animals are agregate in the base of the stems, under the leaves of the plants. The leaves with a rosette-form are peculiar umbrellas, ensure more optimal microclimatic conditions under them. The psamophityc plant absorbs minimum amounts of dampness even, creating around the succulent and deeply situated in the sand roots a zone with a higher moisture. There the sand in the base of the stem unseldom remains moist even in prolonged summer dryness and heat. Hereupon the animals are concentrated to the base of stems or are buried around the rooth sometime at a long depth.
The move of animals on the dunes is facilitated by the presence of moss, covering a sizable part of sands.
Xerophilic, thermophilic, drought-resistant species.
Zoogeography: Asia Minor subelement, Subiranian element, Soutwestern Asiatic complex.
