Distribution: (First record: 01/07/2017 at Pin Dale, Castleton ) - (Last record: 01/07/2017 at Pin Dale, Castleton ) - A rare species in the county, that is easily confused with A.piercei. Found on Small Scabious & Field Scabious in Limestone areas. There is one old very dubious record that was probably A.piercei, so this record by Ben Smart is potentially a first record for VC57 & Derbyshire.
