Psylliodes dulcamarae (Koch, J.D.W., 1803) 
The current Nottinghamshire status of this leaf beetle remains somewhat unclear, but there are at least three known records from the Idle Valley NR (Kirby, P.), Rempstone in 2012 (Lane, S.) and most recently from Rainworth in 2026 (Brownley, N. and Brownley, S.). Bittersweet Solanum dulcamara is the hostplant and the beetle should be looked for, wherever this plant grows.
