Comments: Irwin & Chandler in Chandler (1978) did not indicate whether their host records were British or Foreign and are therefore tentatively included under 'Hosts in Britain' and 'Hosts elsewhere'.

Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum is treated as Nasturtium officinale (Water-cress) by Stace (2010).

Hosts in Britain:

Alismataceae      

? Alisma

plantago-aquatica ? Water-plantain Irwin and Chandler in Chandler, 1978: 225, as Hydrellia albiceps on Alisma plantago-aquatica
Tropaeolaceae      
? Rorippa naturtium-aquatica ? Water-cress Irwin and Chandler in Chandler, 1978: 225, as Hydrellia albiceps on Nasturtium officinale

Hosts elsewhere:

Alismataceae      

? Alisma

plantago-aquatica ? Water-plantain Irwin and Chandler in Chandler, 1978: 225, as Hydrellia albiceps on Alisma plantago-aquatica

Distribution in Great Britain and Ireland: Widespread in Britain including East Sussex, Easterness, Elgin, Monmouthshire and South Hampshire (NBN Gateway - N.B. includes Watsonian Vice Counties having publicly available records that fall within or overlap the vice county border at 10km resolution or better i.e. a record for a vice county may relate to an adjacent vice county - for included datasets see NBN Grid map below).
