Assessment rationale/justification
Records are sparsely but widely distributed around southern England, north to Cheshire, with a single old record from south Wales. The species is still being recorded occasionally to the present but this seems to be a species that is present at low density and/or very unobtrusive. Assessments against all criteria give no reason to consider it threatened, although this is admittedly based on low numbers of records in total.
