Global distribution – Holarctic. Ecology – Bark debris around the trunks, in pathways of woodborer beetles. Remarks – Measurements: Weigmann (2006) reports size of S. leontonycha as 435–500 µm. Travé (1960), Wunderle et al. (1990) and Perez-Iňigo (1993) also indicate larger individuals (440–500 µm, 435–480 µm and 440–500 µm respectively), while Ghilarov and Krivolutsky (1975) and Mahunka (1996) do not indicate body size at all. All Turkish individuals are smaller (360–365 × 215–220 µm) than reported. The rest of the characters match with provided descriptions. The species is known to be arboricolar (Weigmann 2006).

Remarks – Measurements: Body size of Turkish individuals (570 × 345 µm) is smaller than provided in original description (650 × 420 µm) (Gjelstrup and Solhöy 1994), however Weigmann (2006) reports smaller size (555–670 µm), so that our findings match within the given range. Weigmann (2006) also indicates size of nogastral setae up to 60 µm, while for Turkish individuals these setae are even shorter, 45 µm. This is the first record of the species out of Europe. Previous findings were known from Iceland (Gjelstrup and Solhöy 1994) and Germany (Weigmann 2006). The species was described from bogs and swamps in Island and was additionally found in Schleswig-Holstein and Odertal in Germany (Weigmann 2006).
