Abstract
Dicranocephalus agilis is a monophagous insect, found on vegetated shingle and sand dunes, in association with sea spurge (E. paralias). It is distributed almost exclusively across coastal regions of South-west England and Wales (NBN Atlas 2017a), and was first recorded at Slapton Sands, in Devon, in August 2013. However, the storms of 2013-2014 caused severe damage to this coastline, with much of the vegetation, being scoured from the beach. This short article reports on a 5-year study of the known site of D. agilis at Slapton Sands.
