(Linnaeus, 1758) 1903 / 70.223

Morley's Final Catalogue: Used to ocur about Stowmarket (C) and Needham (L), as well as at Bentley (Ml). It may do so still; but since 1890 our sole records are within a few miles of the last woods, where it was not very rare in mid-June during 1894-1900 (Mly, Baylis): several at Copdock (Hkg). None noticed since 1902.

Recent Suffolk Status: Very rare. Last Suffolk record was in 2004. Possibly extinct but quite an elusive species so could still be present.

Life history: Single-brooded.

Identification: Unmistakeable.

Habitat: Woodland.

Retained Specimen / Photograph will be Required.
