Species text
Old records indicate that this flea beetle has been widely recorded in southern England and noted north to North-east Yorkshire, but this is Very local and scarce species where a long term loss of range is suggested (Cox, 2007). It is associated with viper's bugloss Echium vulgare and hound's-tongue Cynoglossum officinale, but also other members of the borage family such as alkanet Anchusa officinalis, gromwells Lithospermum, for-get-me-nots Myosotis and comfrey Symphytum. Disturbance, on a rotational basis, is needed to maintain open conditions. In woodlands, open glades and ride margins should be cut on rotation to retain a variety of vegetation structures (Hyman & Parsons, 1992). References
