This infrequently encountered species inhabits mature lowland rainforest. I have collected it in several Winkler samples of sifted litter from the forest floor, at various sites in the Atlantic lowlands of Costa Rica. But at La Selva Biological Station it has also been collected in fogging samples and Malaise traps. Mary Cornelius, an OTS student, found a nest in a leaf domatium of the ant-plant Tococa.
