| This is
another striking beetle. Although similar to Platyrhinus
resinosus at first glance, this is a much rarer
species in Nottinghamshire, limited to just two recent
county records. The one illustrated, was found by
visiting entomologists Paul and Helen Brock and John and
Denise Bingham at Sherwood Forest CP in late May 2018,
which was thought at the time to be the first
Nottinghamshire record. However, one was recorded (the
specimen retained and photographed) by Phil Lee at
Treswell Wood in May 2017. |
