Alosterna tabacicolor (De Geer, 1775) 
Despite a number of records from counties neighbouring Nottinghamshire, Alosterna tabacicolor remained on the county list only as ever having occurred here historically. No previous records are listed on the NBN Atlas and neither had we been sent any, until it was found in June 2023 at Clumber Park by the county recorder Adrian Dutton. Grateful thanks go to Phil Lee, for allowing us to use his photographs below.
