Most specimens have been collected along the margins of the Rio Coromoto at the “Tobogan de la Selva” site. The species occurs on both exposed granite seepages that border the creek (usually where detritus is covering the rocks) as well as in the (water saturated) roots of herbaceous plants that are growing along the margin of the creek. A few specimens were found by collecting detritus from a granite outcrop and placing it in a pan of water such that the specimens float to the surface.</paragraph>
