Hahnia helveola is widespread in Britain where it may be locally common. It spins a small sheet web close to the ground in leaf litter, moss and low vegetation, usually in woodland. The only records from Cornwall (held by ERCCIS) were from three adjacent localities in the same tetrad near Falmouth made in the late 1980s. These records were made by experienced arachnologists. The species is sure to turn up in woodland in other parts of Cornwall.
