Note. This xerophilic, thermophilic species is associated with sandy habitats and calcareous or volcanic soils. Absent from the Netherlands ( Thomaes et al. 2025), it has been recorded in the extreme south-east of Belgium ( Everts 1903; Libbrecht 1988), as well as in xerothermic areas of Saarland—where it is considered strongly endangered ( Lillig 1999)—and Rhineland, along the Mosel and Rhine, where it is declining ( Everts 1903; Lillig 1999). In Lorraine, it was considered a common species in the dry habitats of the Jura range ( Géhin 1846; Fournel & Géhin 1847; Godron 1863) but it is now rare (F. Soldati in litt.). In Luxembourg, it appears to be restricted to the extreme south of the Guttland.
