Agrypnus murinus (Linnaeus, 1758) 
A very rare beetle in Nottinghamshire, with modern records only coming from two heathland areas of Clumber Park and both nearly 20 years apart. It was recorded in September 2007 (Godfrey, A.), and more recently in May 2026 (Pendleton, T.A.), when it dropped from underneath heather, being lifted to look for the Diamond Spider Thanatus formicinus.
