Common and widespread over much of the southern-half of the UK, only
really coastal in Wales and recorded only sparingly above a line from
the River Mersey to The Wash. There are relatively few Nottinghamshire
records in
recent years and some of those used in the distribution map, date from
the 1980's and 1990's. The lack of recent records is probably due to a lack of active coleopterists
in the county,
rather than being a generally scarce beetle. But it does appear to be a
species of the Trent Valley, with the furthest record into
Nottinghamshire and indeed the most recent record, is from Lowdham,
found by Nick and Samantha Brownley, while sampling an old manure heap
in early 2026. |
