Status: Very local on coasts of Wales and SW England. First described in 1973 and some specimens subsequently found to have been confused with L. obliteratus in collections.
Habitat: Sea cliffs, limestone grassland and sandy beaches (not coastal in continental Europe)
Host plant: Breckland thyme, Thymus serpyllum.
Overwintering: Probably as eggs, larvae and adults (i.e. in two generations).
Food: Adults on leaves, larvae at roots.

Status: Widely scattered and very local; not recorded from Scotland, old records only from Wales and Ireland. Scarce (Notable A)
Habitat: Calcareous grassland, unimproved grassland, maritime cliffs.
Host plant: Various Scrophulaceae i.e. figworts and mulleins.
Overwintering: As adults
Food: Adults on leaves, larvae probably at roots.
Other notes: Adults parasitised by a braconid wasp larva (probably Perilitus sp.) and an unidentified nematode.

Status: Widespread but uncommon in England & S. Wales. Scarce (Notable B), appearing to have declined long-term in eastern England in particular.
Habitat: Woodland clearings and calcareous grassland, chalky hedgerows, sand, shingle, and possibly river banks.
Host plant: various Boraginaceae, especially vipe'rs-bugloss (Echium vulgare) and hound's-tongue (Cynoglossum officinale)
Overwintering: As adults
Food: Boraginaceae: adults on leaves, larvae probably at roots
Other notes: Adults parasitised by a braconid wasp, probably Perilitus sp.

Status: Widespread, mainly in England and Wales
Habitat: Woodland, especially clearings & rides; also chalk grassland, fens, moorland and grassy sea cliffs.
Host plant: Various Lamiaceae, mainly wood sage Teucrium scorodonia. Also collected from oaks.
Overwintering: Probably as adaults and larvae (two generations per year)
Food: Wood sage: adults on leaves, larvae at roots.

Status: Widespread and common
Habitat: Various
Host plant: Plantains (Plantago spp.), occasionally on other plants.
Overwintering: As adults in leaf litter, moss and grass tussocks.
Food: Adults on leaves, larvae in roots or on leaf petioles.
Other notes: Dissection of genitalia needed for separation from L. kutscherae & L. plantagomaritimus. Adults parasitised by larvae of a braconid wasp, probably Perilitus sp.
