Assessment rationale/justification
Benson (1952) described the range as southwards to Teesdale and the Lake District, but the species has recently been found more widely south through Yorkshire, the southern Peak District, north and south Wales and Herefordshire. A handful of older records in the south-east are perhaps more questionable. Assessments against all criteria give no reason to consider it threatened.
