Status: Widely scattered records but has declined, hence recent records only from England and may once have been common in arable fields. Scarce (Notable B)
Habitat: Grassland, commons, woodland, sand & chalk pits, beaches (around high-water mark), and possibly on disturbed ground.
Host plant: Ragworts (Senecio spp.); sometimes other Asteraceae.
Overwintering: As early instar larvae (adults die before winter)
Food: Adults on leaves (possibly also flower buds and/or pollen), larvae on roots.
Other notes: Similar to L. gracilis var. poweri (note colour of hind femora)

Status: Scattered south of the Humber estuary, plus an old record from Armagh, Ireland.
Habitat: Various
Host plant: Various Lamiaceae, especially Breckland thyme, Thymus serpyllum
Overwintering: As adults, eggs and early instar larvae.
Food: Adults on leaves, larvae at roots.
Other notes: Elytral punctures coarser than in L. obliteratoides

Status: Widespread in England, rare in Wales, old records only in Ireland, no records in Scotland.
Habitat: Various
Host plant: Various Convolvulaceae
Overwintering: Only as larvae (adults die before winter)
Food: Adults on leaves, larvae in roots.
Other notes: Antennal segment 11 the same colour as segment 10 (in the similar L. succineus, segment 11 is slightly darker). L. pellucidus also has more strongly developed elytral 'shoulders', but dissection of the aedeagus may be required to separate these species.

Status: Widespread and fairly common. Previously considered Scarce (Notable), but has increased in range and abundance, hence not now threatened. No records from Scotland, only old records from Ireland
Habitat: Various
Host plant: Linum spp (wild and cultivated)
Overwintering: As adults
Food: Adults on leaves, larvae at roots - can cause economically significant damage to seedlings of commercial flax/linseed crops.
Other notes: Adults parasitised by a braconid wasp (probably Perilitus sp.), a nematode (Howardula phyllotretae) and a mite (Trombidium sp.). Eggs parasitised by a mymarid wasp (Anaphes regulus).
