Athysanus argentarius
(Metcalf, 1955)  |
||
| Formerly scarce nationally and largely confined to coastal areas, but it has since spread inland and is proving to be quite widespread in Nottinghamshire. It is a distinctive species, large (around 1cm) and the pale line down the length of the wing cases is an obvious character in the field. Usually found in areas of long grass, it has turned up at a number of former colliery sites. | ||
