Species text
The wasp is widely distributed in the southern half of England, and the majority of Essex records are in the East Thames Corridor. It is a cleptoparasite of the wasps Gorytes quadrifasciatus and G. bicinctus and is recorded from a variety of open habitats on light soils, including heathland, dry grassland and scrub, open woodland, coastal landslip and soft rock cliffs, quarries and post industrial sites (Edwards & Telfer 2001).
