Once thought to be a rare species in Nottinghamshire. We currently know of a number of locations where this beetle is found, but many of the old pit tops should be capable of holding this species. It is found on species of St John's Wort (Hypericum) with known sites including the former colliery sites of Gedling Pit Top, Bevercotes Pit Wood and Warsop Main Pit Top among others. Recorded from the Sherwood Forest NNR for the first time in 2023. | ||
