A high-mountain lichen growing on mosses and plant debris on acidic and calcareous soils. There is only one verified record from the Czech Republic, from calcareous phyllites on Petrovy kameny in the Hrubý Jeseník Mts, collected in 1928 by J. Suza (Nádvorník 1947, as Anaptychia stippaea). According to the most recent research, its presence in this area has not been confirmed. Only similarly looking A. ciliaris occurs here, in particular its dark variety melanosticta.
