Habitat. Gathmann and Williams, 2006: 147-148, 150 (emergence and abundance in cold water springs in Ont; by far the most widespread and abundant species in the survey; many species of the carnivorous genus Dicranota are predominantly found burrowing in well-oxygenated banks of coarse sand which are typical of large rheocrenes).
