Specimens have been sampled mainly from pitfall traps. The behaviour of this genus is possibly the same as the cosmopolitan genus Dipoena . This species is associated with ants. It was sampled from the Forest, Indian Ocean Coastal Belt, and Savanna biomes at altitudes ranging from 4 to 1451 m. [3]
Chorizopella tragardhi is listed as Least Concern by the South African National Biodiversity Institute. Although the species is presently known only from one sex, it has a wide geographical range. There are no significant threats to this species. It is sampled from more than ten protected areas. [3]
Chorizopella tragardhi was described by Lawrence in 1947 from Umfolosi Drift in KwaZulu-Natal. [2] The species is known only from the female. [3]
