A Review of the scarce and threatened spiders (Araneae) of Great Britain: Species Status No. 22 (Sep 2017)Red listing based on 2001 IUCN guidelinesVulnerable42979Apparent long-term decline is thought to result from pressures on its coastal grassland habitat. Threats: There is probably little threat from agriculture in most of its coastal grassland sites, as it occurs mainly in stony areas or on steep slopes which are unsuitable for cultivation. Public pressure could possibly be a threat in some areas.
