In soil chambers of Camponotus johnsoni(?) colony beneath stones, in Adenostoma Artemisia shubland. Other specimens were found in other colonies of the same Camponotus species, but none were seen under stones without the ants.

On twigs and decomposed granite gravel around base of unknown shrub. At night in granite ravine in desert shrubland. Rained in preceeding days.
Two individuals were observed, though there were likely many more. The coloration effectively made them disappear into the granite soil when not moving.
Apparently an undescribed Prorastriopes species per Frans Janssens:
