Species text
The species is almost confined to southern England, where it is common and widespread on heathland in Dorset, Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey. There are few records elsewhere, with nearly all other records being coastal. The spider occurs mainly on dry heathland at ground level among heather and under stones, but also sometimes on stable sand dunes or shingle on the coast. It appears on burnt heathland during the first year after fire, but reaches maximum densities between about 6-12 years after fire, then declines (Harvey et al. 2002). References
