The scattered records form a distinct band across eastern and central England, and into eastern Ireland.  Characteristically, it is associated with synanthropic sites, such as old gardens or churchyards (e.g. Richards, 2016), but some coastal sites in Kent appear to be semi-natural (e.g. Gregory, 2012).  In 2010 specimens were collected from a coastal site in eastern Scotland (BMIG Newsletter 22)

Specimens are usually found beneath paving slabs or stone partially embedded into the soil, but it also may be found among soil or rubble. It is elusive, rarely found in large numbers and probably under-recorded.  It often occurs with other trichoniscids, such as Trichoniscus pygmaeus, Haplophthalmus mengii and Trichoniscoides albidus.

This summary is based on the detailed account in Gregory (2009).
