Cypha longicornis

*Cypha longicornis* (Paykull, 1800)
This minute Staphylinid (Rove Beetle) is probably widespread and common in much of Nottinghamshire, but at around 1.5mm in length, is hardly ever likely to be found unless specifically looked for. For those wishing to do so, the best method is by sampling leaf litter, which can easily be done during the Winter months.
