Monotoma bicolor (Villa & Villa, 1835) 
A tiny (2mm) beetle with a patchy (mainly south-easterly) UK distribution, becoming something of a rarity in the northern-half of the UK. There seem to be no previous Nottinghamshire records, before numbers of these turned up in an old bales of straw at the Sherwood Forest CP in late March 2020.
