| This small
Weevil, is another species which probably suffers from
under recording. Found on Melilotus officionalis
(has a variety of common names including Yellow Sweet
Clover and Yellow Melilot) Tychius meliloti is
probably a more common Weevil than the distribution map
suggests. Most of the county's records seem to be from western areas,
but it has been recorded from Bevercotes Pit Wood
(Brownley, N. and Brownley, S.), in the northern-half
of Nottinghamshire. Thanks go to Nick and Samantha Brownley, for
providing the specimen below. |
