Scorpions are grossly under-recorded in Nottinghamshire
and modern records are few and far between. So the recent
discovery of this Neobisium carcinoides by Tim
Sexton (who supplied us with the lower two photographs) at
Attenborough Nature Reserve in March 2015, provided a
very welcome county record. Historically Neobisium
carcinoides was recorded from Sherwood Forest in
1912 and Bramcote in 1916. Other recent records (traced
from the NBN Gateway and UK Pseudoscorpion
recording scheme) are from Clumber Park in 1964, Sherwood
Forest in 1979 and 2002, Ash Tree Hill Wood in Clumber
Park in 2004 and Oblong Clump in Clumber Park in 2005 (Binding, A.E.). |
