Criteria

Question 1: Does species need conservation or recovery in England?
Response: No
Justification: Only known from Britain on the basis of several records from the Sandwich Bay/Deal area in the late 19th century. The species is considered presumed extinct. Sandwich Bay and similar habitats on the coast of southern England are well-worked for heteroptera and the chances of an overlooked population would seem remote. On this basis the species is very likely to be extinct in Britain and is not a suitable candidate for recovery action.
Question 2: Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions?
Response: No
Justification: Only known from Britain on the basis of several records from the Sandwich Bay/Deal area in the late 19th century. The species is considered presumed extinct. Sandwich Bay and similar habitats on the coast of southern England are well-worked for heteroptera and the chances of an overlooked population would seem remote. On this basis the species is very likely to be extinct in Britain and is not a suitable candidate for recovery action.
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
