Well, you have to remember that when Belshaw trawled the museum collections he might have found 50 specimens but that doesn't mean that the species is widespread (they might have all come from a few localities) or common (it might have declined) these days.

In my experience records for Panzeria laevigata are submitted every year but not many, so I'd say that you are lucky to have found it :)
