Species text
Although not listed in the insect Red Data Book (Shirt, 1987) this is a rare beetle. Old records suggest that this species had a widely scattered distribution from southern England, north to Cumberland, but in Hymans & Parsons (1992) it had recently recorded from just two vice-counties and development, the building of a marina and gravel extraction was destroying one of these. The beetle occurs in grassland and coastal shingle, in the puff-ball fungi Lycoperdon bovista and Bovista plumbea, and possibly in other puff-ball fungi. Threats include the loss of unimproved grassland through improvement by reseeding or by the application of fertilisers, or by conversion to arable agriculture. References
