Habitat and Ecology

Species of nemoral woodland on calcareous soil. Most records from mosaic habitats with Corylus (northern Europe) or in more or less montane Fagus woodland in southern and central Europe.


Threats

Threatened by habitat decline/disappearence due to modern forestry (clear cuting of Fagus stands) or overgrowth because of abandoned forest grazing or mowing (mosaic Corylus-Quercus habitats).


Conservation Actions

Redlisted in several European countries, due to habitat loss caused by modern forestry.
Action plan in Sweden.

Recommended monitoring of known localites all over Europe for better knowledge of current status,
