What is the status of Chaetocnema hortensis and C. mannerheimi (Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini)?

04 April 2014 1 2K Report

Two linked questions really:

1. Does anyone know of work indicating Chaetocnema hortensis might be a species-complex?

2. Does anyone know of British Chaetocnema mannerheimi records?

Till date IUCN has not assessed the conservation status of both the species. Europian Environment Agency indicated C. hortensis threat status as 'Not Evaluated' (IUCN).
