Criteria
| Question 1: | Does species need conservation or recovery in England? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | Just two records in England, in Shropshire and Wiltshire, the latter 'doubtful' (Telfer, 2016). Almost certainly extinct in Britain, also absent from NL and likely extinct in Belgium (Muilwijk et al 2015) so likely declining throughout its western European range |
| Question 2: | Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | Just two records in England, in Shropshire and Wiltshire, the latter 'doubtful' (Telfer, 2016). Almost certainly extinct in Britain, also absent from NL and likely extinct in Belgium (Muilwijk et al 2015) so likely declining throughout its western European range |
| 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 |
