+ | \\ **Habitat** \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | This species appears to be most numerous in shaded shallow streams with | ||
+ | clear, fast-flowing water, rocky substratum, and accumulations of leaf-litter, which serve as | ||
+ | shelter and food[(#1)]. The water it lives often appears tea-coloured, with a pH of 6.5-7.0[(#1)]. It is never found | ||
+ | in polluted waters and seems to be relatively stenotopic[(#1)]. Two collected specimens were | ||
+ | obtained from '... under large stones at the edge of a small stream at an altitude of | ||
+ | 2000 ft' (Kemp, 1918). |
