The external morphology of this species (very narrow and parallel habitus, broad pronotum, pale colour, long antennae) suggests that it might be a semi-subterranean species.

The substratum was sandy with moderate amount of decaying vegetal material and the water was red-brown coloured. This water body was fully shaded under trees in forest. There was no vegetation in the water but the surrounding forest floor displayed a typical hygrophilic vegetation of
