Phyllotreta vittula (Redtenbacher, 1849) 
A very small Phyllotreta which is easily overlooked because of the small size. Best found by using a beating tray, there are just three modern records for Nottinghamshire, coming from Ploughman Wood at Lambley in 1998, and Bevercotes Pit Wood in 2024 and Clumber Park in 2025, but it has been recorded historically at Sherwood Forest.
