Stary and Stubbs, 2015: 331-332 (common in the southern half of England, mainly on well-drained calcareous clay or limestone soils, preferring scrub edges associated with calcareous grassland; a widespread distribution extends over much of Great Britain where non-acid soils are present; D. (D.) lutea and D. (D.) mitis can be found together, but the former species is the less restricted one; D. (D.) lutea can occur within woodland, but rarely in numbers, and notably it can occur by shaded streams where D. (D.) quadra also lives; D. (D.) lutea flies from late April to June, and its peak of occurrence is in common with D. (D.) mitis, but D. (D.) lutea may extend into July (AS).).
