Species text
Mordellistena pseudoparvula is a tumbling flower beetle that has only recently been recognised in Britain. There are now several published records in south-eastern England, It was first found in Essex by P.R. Harvey at Aveley in 2000 and P.R. Harvey has subsequently collected it at several; other sites near the Thames. This is a difficult group, with many European species, some others of which have been recognised as British in recent years. Larvae probably develop in plant stems and the adults appear to be associated with flowers such as Carrot Daucus carota. References
