Megarthrus depressus (Paykull, 1789) 
A very small species, which has been rarely recorded in Nottinghamshire over recent years and, as with so many very small species, is probably somewhat under-recorded. There are recent records from Sherwood Forest, Eaton Wood, Spalford and Blidworth. Thanks to Nick and Samantha Brownley for providing the specimen illustrated below.
