Habitat

Forest and woodland - Fagus , Fraxinus , Quercus , Carpinus , Tilia , Acer , Populus , Castanea , Corylus . Under bark, in logs and in leaf litter. On several types of soil from clayey inundation forest to rendzinas on limestone, sandy areas and brown earths on metamorphic rocks. Mainly at low altitude but on high limestone plateaus (“causses”) and in volcanic areas up to at least 900 m in the Massif Central of France.

Remarks

As things stand at present, all the records of Enantiulus armatus from France are from a zone south and west of the River Loire. All the British records are from Devon and Cornwall in SW England. Unless it has been introduced into England it ought to be found in NW France. In so far as it is eurytopic it resembles its congener to the east, Enantiulus nanus (Latzel, 1884) (see below).
