Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species spreading around Central Europe: France (Husson 1946; Pagés 1951), central Germany (Paclt 1961a), Swiss Alps (Orelli 1956), and reaching the Romanian Carpathians (Ionescu 1951, 1955; Sendra et al. 2012) and Serbia (Blesić 2000b). Surprisingly, it has not been found yet in the Czech Republic or Slovakia. Outside Central Europe, it has been quoted in the Pontic Mountains, northern Anatolian Peninsula (Sendra et al. 2010).
