Cistogaster globosa (Fabricius, 1775) 
Rare away from southern and central counties of England, but showing signs of range expansion into more northerly counties in recent years. There are now two Nottinghamshire records, following the first at Toton Sidings in July 2014 (Plant, S.) and the one illustrated below, which was found at Netherfield Lagoons in September 2019 (Smith, P. and Tyler, M.) Thanks go to Mark Tyler, for kindly allowing the use of his photographs.
