本州や九州から記録されている日本固有種。恐らく本州以南の温帯域に広く分布しているものと思われる。アズマネザサやメダケなどのタケ類の枯れ枝から得られることが多い。頭部が複眼の前方にわずかに突出することと、触角第3節の基部が膨らむことで同属他種から区別できる。有翅型のみが知られる。食菌性。

This species is endemic to Japan and has been recorded from Honshu and Kyushu. It is probably widely distributed in the temperate zone south of Honshu. It is usually obtained from the dead stems of bamboo species such as Pleioblastus chino and P. Simonii. This species can be distinguished from congeners by the slight protrusion of the head in front of the compound eyes and the sub-basal bulge of the antennal segment III. Known only from macropterae. Fungus-feeder.
