Of the 76 known specimens, 67 have been collected from sieved litter, indicating occupation of the ground-level microhabitat. Exceptions with situational label data include a singleton found via headlamp search at night (Will, EMEC), and two beetles collected from two flight-intercept traps (Monteith, QMB;
