This species was formerly widespread and common throughout the lowlands of the south and
east of England. It has declined since 1950 due to pastures being ploughed and the
remainder being managed more intensively. The distribution of this species in many counties,
including Huntingdonshire, is now limited to nature reserves and other sites specifically
managed for nature conservation (Stewart et al. 1994).

recorded in 1898.
