Editor's comment Large numbers of geophilomorphs, probably this species, were collected from beaches all round Tasmania in a pitfall study of strandline fauna (Richardson et al, 1997, 1998) [details]Habitat Given as under rocks at high tide level, rocks on sand, stones on fine shell gravel, under stones (strand line), in a small cave, etc. (Jones, 1998) [details]
