Criteria
| Question 1: | Does species need conservation or recovery in England? |
| Response: | No |

| Question 2: | Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | Rare on shaded tufa and limestone but recently (2017) found to be quite widespread on Carboniferous Limestone in VC 64, M.W. Yorkshire (Powell 2017). Would need more data to know level of threat. |
| Question 3: | At a landscape scale, would the species benefit from untargeted habitat management to increase habitat mosaics, structural diversity, or particular successional stages? |
| Response: | N/A |
