Generally a longhorn of Pine forested areas of the UK, mostly in
Scotland and north-eastern England, with clusters of records coming from
Norfolk and across some southern counties. Pogonocherus fasciculatus was recently found new to
Nottinghamshire and the Sherwood Forest NNR, by Nick and Samantha
Brownley in late August 2024, when two specimens were beaten off Pine on
Budby South Forest (upper two photographs). Another was beaten off
Pine, very close to the August 2024 record in December 2024.
There are similarities between this species and Nottinghamshire's two
other Pogonocherus species (P. hispidus and P.
hispidulus), but any Pogonocherus taken off Pine or
Spruce are likely to be this species, so specimens should be checked
carefully. |
