Species account (old)
A rare insect in our [county]. Gardner found it plentifully at Blackhall Rocks, but it is certainly not so [plentiful] now: he also found larval traces in Hesleden Dene. Stainton records it for Darlington in his 'Manual', but it is not in Sang's Diary for that area. Wingate and Robson list it in the Victoria County History (1905) for Edderacres Wood (just inland from Castle Eden Dene). Since then, it has only been found at Chester-le-Street in 1969 (TCD) when a single specimen came to the Rothamsted trap.
