Habitat:
Podisma dechambrei inhabits Alpine meadows, pastures, dwarf shrub heathland, screes and rocky places between 1000 and 2200m.
Remarks:
Podisma dechambrei occurs from the French southern Alps across the Italian Alpi marittime to the northern Apeninnes east of Florence.
Podisma dechambrei resembles somewhat a transition form of Podisma amedegnatoae and P. pedestris. The dotting of the dorsal female abdomen is quite variable. Near the Refuge de la Madone de Fenestre (SE-France) nearly all females showed a dotting, but on Colle di Tende (Italy/France) only a few and only partially. This indicates hybridization belts. Also in Podisma pedestris some individuals (e.g. SE-Switzerland) show short tegmina.
