Habitat:
Arcyptera brevipennis inhabits garigues and stony or rocky grasslands, often with Brachypodium retusum.

Life cycle:
The adults appear early between mid-May and July, only rarely later.

Remarks:
Arcyptera brevipennis occurs in isolated population groups in southern Europe. The taxon ssp. vicheti is found in parts of northern Spain along the Pyrenees and very locally in southern France (especially in the area of Montpellier and Nimes). The nominate subspecies is found along the Adriatic coast between Trieste or Istria to Montenegro.
