Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: Possibly more common than formerly. Now recorded commonly from all five vice-counties.
2012 (CHF): Present in good numbers all across the county but much less common in upland areas. The markings are similar to Uncertain and Rustic but the Orbicular and reniform stigmata do not have pale outlines.
