Species text
This flea beetle is widespread but local in southern England. It has primarily been found on calcareous or sandy soils. Grassland, maritime cliff, limestone quarries, and woodland rides and clearings. It is phytophagous, associated with ragwort Senecio (Hyman & Parsons, 1992). Grazing, cutting or some other disturbance, such as rotovation, on a rotational basis, may be needed to maintain open conditions. References
