Access to the Windsor Tableland is now for scientific study only, the public are permanently barred. A very detailed habitat description is given by

: "Two specimens were collected from a low gradient section of a small, permanent, closed forest stream. The stream was largely shaded by a tall, more or less closed tree canopy. The stream bed was coarse sand and consisted of shallow, gentle riffles which separated pools formed where sand had been scoured from around and behind logs and from under tree roots to produce pools under overhanging roots-mats. The specimens were found swimming in a pool after the trailing roots on an overhanging bank on one side of the pool had been vigorously swept with a net. It is assumed the beetles came from under the bank but similar habitat, which was common along the stream, was searched without yielding additional specimens".
