Great Britain Habitat. Stubbs, 2003: 52, 67 (prefers scrub edge bordering damp heath). Habitat. Boardman, 2007: 75 (restricted to acid conditions in upland and lowland situations on sandy heathland, heathy rides in woodland, moorland gullies, etc). Habitat. Leftwich, 2011: 4 (rarity of lowland heath). Habitat. Stary and Stubbs, 2015: 329 (the species is found most commonly on acid soils, especially in damp places and high rainfall situations; this results in a patchy distribution in much of England, but with more widespread habitat in the north and west of Britain; on heathland and moorland, D. (D.) affinis can occur among heather and at scrub edges or in the shelter of rocks, ravines, and tree-lined streams; in woodland, it is most frequent in open-structured canopy where damp spots are situated, or it is to be found along rides; apart from sand, gravel and other typically acid rocks, some clay soils provide acid conditions; in the south, where drought conditions can be intense, there can be a strong affinity with bush-shaded ditches).
