Species text
This is a rare species with very few modern records. It is primarily a species of south-eastern England. The beetle is difficult to identify and may be confused with other members of the family. Consequently, the exact status of this species is hard to assess and it was not listed in the insect Red Data Book (Shirt, 1987). It is predominantly recorded from coastal and estuarine habitats, including coastal shingle and saltmarsh, but also noted inland in pasture-woodland. Most records are from the roots of plants and grass tussocks. References
