Species text
This leaf beetle is widespread but local in England, and also recorded in North Wales and southern Scotland. It has been recorded from river banks, downland and hedges, as well as in woodland rides, on a roadside verge and possibly also disturbed ground and wetland. It is phytophagous, associated with members of the parsley family Umbelliferae (Hyman & Parsons, 1992). References
