Something of an uncommon species in Nottinghamshire, with just three
records of which I am aware of at the time of writing. Its lack of
records in VC56, may well be due to Alphitophagus bifasciatus's
small size (around 3mm long) and so it's likely to be somewhat
overlooked and under-recorded. Nationally, there are records from the
south-eastern counties (Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire etc) and
clusters of records from Warwickshire, Shropshire and Cheshire. The
individual below, was found in a manure sample taken from near Ollerton
in December 2025. There are records from Clumber Park in 2023
(Dutton, A.) which came a year after
one from West Burton Power Station (Wilson,
R.I.) in 2022. |
