Species map 9. Short-winged cone-head Sussex Orthoptera - Online Atlas
For ease of comparison with Haes and Harding (1997), records are shown as: pre-1970, 1970-1999 and as 2000 (onwards). The eventual aim is to update all maps as completely as possible with records for 2001 onwards, to show the status of Sussex orthopteroids in the first decade of the new millennium. Records shown for boundary squares may pertain to neighbouring counties.

Unlike its congener, C.dorsalis does not appear to be spreading in Sussex. This species occurs on coastal dunes and saltmarshes and further inland along the courses of rivers in marshes and water meadows.
