Stubbs, 2003: 101, 111 (occurs very locally in wet both lowland and upland woods, usually at tiny seepages where bare wet humic mud is exposed; acid conditions are usually evident; larvae are assumed to be saprophagous, semiaquatic in wet mud; the paper includes further details on habitat management).
