Species text
This species has only been recorded from Kent or Essex, with all locations shown in Clemons (2004) being in E. Kent except for one 10km square location in W. Kent. It was first collected in South Essex by P.R. Harvey at Belton Hills in 2001, with further records from further sites in Southe Essex near the Thames since. A single female from Kirby-le-Soken during 2003 is the first record for N. Essex (D.A. Smith, pers. comm.). The species is quite widespread in the Mediterranean up to central Germany, but almost absent more in the north. Its host plant is probably Crepis vesicaria ssp. taraxacifolia and C. capillaris (Clemons 2000). References
