It is endemic to the Seychelles, and can be found on the islands of Mahé and Silhouette. It lives in woodland habitats, where it spins orb webs or is a kleptoparasite of the red-legged golden orb-web spider. It is threatened by habitat deterioration due to invasive plants, especially Cinnamomum verum.
