"This species is known only from the disjunct localities of Fonwhary in the northern portion of Province Sud, and Yahoué and Nouméa in the south of New Caledonia ). The lone historical collecting record with ecological information includes a beetle collected in dead leaves at the base of a tree."  (James K. Liebherr in Cyphocoleus Chaudoir (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Odacanthini): descriptive taxonomy, phylogenetic relationships, and the Cenozoic history of New Caledonia, 2016)
