Yorkshire Status: Common and fairly widespread resident.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: Generally frequent and recorded over all five vice-counties. Most frequent in the south where it has been reported as more common than A. pulchrina (Haworth) in one area of VC63. In east VC61 it occurs in about equal numbers to that species. Elsewhere pulchrina seems to be the more common, although how much more varies from place to place.

Recorded in 164 (82%) of 200 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1846.
Last Recorded in 2022.
