    Scarce and local.  Most of the recent records are from Sand Bay, suggesting a resident population there; also Priddy Mineries (2011) and Tickenham Hill (2001).  Turner (1955) and the 1906 Victoria County History give a range of records scattered widely across the county (though excepting the west), so maybe this species has declined.
