Criteria
| Question 1: | Does species need conservation or recovery in England? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | Only two post-1979 records from England: Lumb Brook Valley, Cheshire (vc58); Duncombe Park, North-east Yorkshire (vc62). Earlier records were more frequent but relatively few and included sites in southern England. Like other members of the genus, P. salicis is thought to be associated with nests of birds and mammals. No plausible threats have been identified and, like most invertebrates associated with cryptic habitats like bird and mammal nests, it is likely to be significantly under-recorded. |
| Question 2: | Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | No plausible threats identified. Cryptic habitat makes it likely to be under-recorded. No obvious conservation actions that could be taken. |
| 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: | No |
| Justification: | Associated with bird and mammal nests in trees. No obvious management that would increase provision of these habitats. |
