<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="1">This species has been collected in dark, cool, relatively moist near-surface habitats. For example, field notes from 1992 collections north of Bald Rock indicate that spiders were collected from "below bluffs on a steep hillside", in "talus with a heavy leaf litter cover", where spiders were "most abundant under large rocks close to the surface". This situation compares favorably with the original "heavy talus of ravine" collections made by A.F. Archer, and the 1995 Hedin and Dellinger collections, most of which were made in north-facing talus, although at least one collection was from southwest-facing talus. This species is perhaps not as uncommon as previously believed and (in the late 1990s) was found consistently in suitable microhabitats.</paragraph>
