Corticarina minuta

*Corticarina minuta* (Fabricius, 1792)
This is another uncommon or under-recorded beetle in Nottinghamshire, possibly due to its very small size and similarity to a number of other species. There are recent records from Sherwood Heath in 2003 and from Clumber Park in 2004 (both Godfrey, A.) and most recently from Eakring in 2024, when a single specimen was beaten off Ivy Hedera helix (Brownley, N. and Brownley, S.).
