Assessment rationale/justification
This species is seldom recorded, with 18 records across Scotland and northern England. A 19th century record from 'King's Lynn' suggests it may once have been present in the Roydon/Dersingam area of Norfolk too. Many records are relatively recent and, therefore, despite the low AOO and numbers of locations, assessments against all criteria give no reason to consider it threatened.
