Anecic species with one record in an alder forest ( Graff 1953b ), another one on a grassland site ( Brauckmann 2002 ). Zoogeographical distribution type . Central European distribution ( Csuzdi & Zicsi 2003 ). Distribution in Germany . Southern Germany ( Brauckmann 2002; PSMS in Bavaria: www.edaphobase.org ); western Germany ( Graff 1953b ). Taxonomic remark. The distribution of the three subspecies in Germany is unknown. The subspecies are characterized by slightly different Zoogeographical distributions ( Csuzdi & Zicsi 2003 ) as well as differences in leaf litter acceptance and cast deposition ( Zicsi et al. 2011 ). They might therefore represent distinct species.
