Species account (old)
[...] In Durham, South Shields and the coastal dunes at Hartlepool used to be sites known to Robson. It has not been taken for many years from the former site, but although much of the sand dune system at Seaton Carew is either destroyed or badly damaged by industry, a specimen was found at the Atomic Energy Power Station there on 27 July 1978 (D. Clayton).
