Oulema erichsonii is a rare species in the UK where it has been recorded only in Somerset, including at Ham Wall reserve.[2][3] It is highly endangered due to habitat loss; one study performed in Tübingen, Germany, found this species exclusively in a sample of autumnally unmown lawn, but not in mown lawn samples.[4]
