Habitats: Trocheta cylindrica has commonly been collected in the Czech Republic from springs, and from small brooks at higher elevations (up to 900 m a.s.l.). Other records of this species were reported from lowland pools and wetlands, and (although less frequently) from larger rivers.

Status: Trocheta cylindrica has a limited distribution in the Czech Republic; most of the records to date are from localities in eastern Moravia. Although infrequently collected in the Czech Republic, the current distribution of this species likely has been under-estimated due to its semi-aquatic life style and insufficient survey effort in its preferred habitats.
