Criteria

Question 1: Does species need conservation or recovery in England?
Response: No
Justification: Largely confined in Britain today to the Speyside area of the eastern Highlands, but known from East Anglia long before it was discovered in the Highlands. East Anglian records are very sporadic, mostly refer to single specimens, and none have been reported to the various longhorn beetle recording schemes in the past 30+ years. The lack of modern records from East Anglia suggests that the earlier records were the result of casual introductions and that it has never established a self-maintaining population in England.
Question 2: Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions?
Response: No
Justification: Largely confined in Britain today to the Speyside area of the eastern Highlands, but known from East Anglia long before it was discovered in the Highlands.

The lack of modern records from East Anglia suggests that the earlier records were the result of casual introductions and that it has never established a self-maintaining population in England.
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
