Quedius humeralis (Stephens, 1832)  
One of many similar species, this Quedius humeralis was found in a leaf/needle litter sample taken from Lowdham Churchyard in late January 2026. It seems to be rare in Nottinghamshire, with the only other traceable record coming from Bunny Old Wood in 1986, although there is no recorder given for the record.
