The female was found under a small block of dry clay while the male was observed on the cave roof, just above the spot where the female was collected. The site was apparently dry, with no evidence of recent water activity or the presence of roots. The chamber was quite oligotrophic, with no visible organic resources suh as bat guano or vegetable debris and only few invertebrate specimens were observed in the area (

is in a region strongly affected by agricultural and mining activities. Pastures and quarries surround the outcrop in which the cave is located (

). These activities can directly affect the water quality and availability as well as the surrounding vegetation, both of which are essential for phytophagous hemipterans. Another concern is the dust generated by the limestone mining, which was observed to accumulate in the surrounding vegetation and in parts of the cave, especially near the entrance. Mining activities have been performed in the region for at least four decades. As the species is strongly dependent on vegetation and moisture, changes arising from such activities can put the species at risk. Thus, actions aiming at recovering the environment surrounding the outcrop are strongly recommended.
