Species text
Drapetis infitialis is a very local species, recorded from few sites in southern and eastern England. It is listed in Falk (1991a) as Notable. In the new status review (Falk & Crossley, 2005) it is listed as Data Deficient, and described as a little-known species with only three post-1960 records, but it may be under-recorded. Lack of recording of this genus, coupled with inadequate ecological information, prevent assessment of status or of the threat of extinction at this time. The biology of this species is unknown. Adults are probably predaceous on small invertebrates. References
