Distribution and ecology. Probably subcosmopolitan. It is a nitrophilous species, connected with anthropogenic habitats. Usually it lives in compost, accumulations of organic matter and flower pots ( Gisin 1952; Fjellberg 1998; Greenslade & Ireson 2022). In Nilgiri Hills it was found in carrot agricultural soil.
