This is another very tiny species, measuring little more than 1.25mm.
There are a number of very similar species, so identification is very
difficult and as this is a beetle that doesn't photograph particularly
well on wood, a couple of 'in the pot' photographs are included.
Nottinghamshire records seem confined to the Sherwood Forest and Clumber
Park areas of the county, but three turned up in a leaf litter sample
taken from Lound Wood in April 2023, so there may well be an element of
under recording of this and other Dienerella species. |
