 + 
 +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). ​
