Seems genuinely rare in Nottinghamshire with
very few records. Ptinus tectus is very much a cosmopolitan
species, found indoors around stored foods and museum collections. There
are Nottinghamshire records listed on the NBN Atlas from Stapleford in
1991 and Hucknall in 1988, which were verified by the county recorder at
the time, but still only classed as being 'plausible' in the record
listings for some reason. However, there is a more recent record of this
species from Stoke Bardolph in 2023 (Brownley,
N. and Brownley, S.). and thanks once again go to Nick and
Samantha Brownley for providing the specimen photographed below. |
