Distribution
This rare species has only been found twice. This was first found by Steve Judd of Liverpool Museum at Chartley Moss, Staffordshire (SK0228) on 29^th July 1994.

(the map below has yet to be updated).
In 2005 the second one was found amongst Sphagnum in Wales. On the continent it occurs in Sphagnum in bogs and Carr. It resembles a small Neobisium carcinoides, but has fewer trichobothria on the palps suggesting it is a neotenous species. Hand sorting, Tullgren funnel extraction and suction sampling this habitat in Britain could well find further specimens. It is found throughout Eurasia being prevalent in Central Europe and Russia over to China.
