Species text
The species is widespread but local in Scotland, North Wales and the East Thames Corridor, but generally widely scattered elsewhere. It is found under stones on high ground in mountainous areas, but there are also records from short vegetation and grazing marsh grasslands in lowland counties. Adult females probably occur throughout the year. Existing data suggest males may peak in late autumn and winter, so the current survey was not an optimum time to find this species. References
