Philorhizus
melanocephalus (Dejean, 1825) ![]() |
||
This is a very small Carabid, measuring between 2.5 and 3.5mm. Perhaps best recorded by beating foliage, as Philorhizus melanocephalus climbs tall foliage. The one illustrated, was found by beating Gorse on Sherwood Heath SSSI in early October 2017. There have been several records from the Sherwood Forest area, but this is probably a common beetle over much of Nottinghamshire. | ||
