Status: Widely scattered, mainly England and Wales.
Habitat: Various
Host plant: Plantains (Plantago spp.), occasionally (and probably accidentally) on other plants.
Overwintering: As adults
Food: Adults on leaves, larvae at roots.
Other notes: Adults parasitised by larvae of a braconid wasp, probably Perilitus sp. Elytra more elongate than in L. pratensis, which has the head dark brown to blackish, sometimes pitchy.

Status: Widespread and common (mainly coastal in Ireland)
Habitat: Various
Host plant: Various Asteraceae, sometimes on other plants.
Overwintering: As larvae and possibly eggs.
Food: Adults on leaves; larvae in soil at the roots of common ragwort, Senecio jacobaea
Other notes: Generally paler than the rare L. aeruginosus. Elytral punctures less distinct than those of L. pellucidus. Adults parasitised by larvae of a braconid wasp, probably Perilitus sp.

Status: Scarce (Notable A) in southern England.
RDB Category: Vulnerable (RDB2)
Habitat: Usully near stream & pond margins, marshes and in woodland clearings; sometimes clay pits and chalky slopes.
Host plant: Figworts, Scrophularia spp.
Overwintering: as adults
Food: Adults on leaves, larvae probably at roots.

Status: Widespread and fairly common in England, the Welsh coast and southern Scotland; old records from western Ireland.
Habitat: Various
Host plant: Usually on bindweeds (Convolvulaceae)
Overwintering: As eggs, possibly also larvae and adults
Food: Adults on leaves, larvae at roots

Status: Scattered around the coast (not in Ireland). Scarce (Notable B)
Habitat: Various littoral habitats.
Host plant: Sea plantain Plantago maritima
Overwintering: As adults
Food: Adults on leaves, larvae probably at roots and/or leaf petioles.
Other notes: Separation from L. kutscherae and L. melanocephalus may be attempted using size/width of male front tarsi, but dissection of genitalia may be required.

Status: Very local, SE England only (old record from Belfast); Scarce (Notable A)
Habitat: Heathland, calcareous grassland, parkland, roadside verges, disturbed ground, sandy arable fields.
Host plant: Hound's-tongue (Cynoglossum officinale) and possibly viper's-bugloss (Echium vulgare).
Overwintering: As larvae
Food: Adults on leaves, larvae at roots

Status: Widespread and common (scattered in Scotland and Ireland)
Habitat: Various
Host plant: Plantains (Plantago spp.)
Overwintering: As adults in moss, possibly also as eggs and larvae.
Food: Adults on leaves and possibly pollen, larvae on parenchyma (inner cells between the upper and lower surfaces) of leaves.
Other notes: Adults parasitised by unidentified nematodes, and by larvae of a braconid wasp, probably Perilitus sp. Elytra less elongate than in L. reichei, which has the head dark reddish or pitchy yellow and blackish on top.
