Measurements and variation.

Variation of measurements (mm) and ratios for Semiardistomis laevistriatus (n=4) are: HL = 0,65-0,68-0,70; PL = 1,13-1,20-1,28; PW = 1,33-1,39-1,45; EL = 2,95-3,05-3,15; EW = 2,00-2,05-2,10; SBL = 4,73-4,93-5,13; PW/EW = 0,68; PW/PL = 1,16; PL/EL = 0,39; EW/EL = 0,67.

Habitat.

Nichols (1988a) reported that adults of Semiardistomis laevistriatus are found under rotting bark. The species is probably associated with wet forest leaf litter.
