. The specimens were collected from soil and under stones by hand collecting. In Manali the area was forested, beside a river with good amount of moisture in the soil. It was a dense pine forest with little undergrowth. The nest was few inches deep. The other locality was a forested area with scarce undergrowth. The collection was done on a hill slope mostly covered by grasses.
