Soronia grisea (Fabricius, 1758) 
There are relatively few records of this smallish Nitidulid from Nottinghamshire. It turned up at the Sherwood Forest CP during Derek Lott's surveying there back in 1998 and was recorded from along the River Trent at Averham by Bob Merritt in 1999. But the most recent county record, seems to be that found by Nick and Samantha Brownley at Bevercotes Pit Wood in early June 2025.
