Oligolophus hanseni (Kraepelin, 1896)
From our own records, this is not a common Harvestman in Nottinghamshire. Oligolophus hanseni is perhaps easy to over look among several commoner species and can be generally difficult to distinguish. Probably quite widespread in Nottinghamshire and very much under-recorded, yet the current distribution map suggests otherwise. Recent records have come from Peafield Lane in 2014, Rainworth Heath (Williams, H.) in 2008, Ollerton Cemetery in 2009, Sherwood Forest CP (Williams, H.) in 2003 , and the Idle Valley Nature Reserve (Williams, H.) in 1997.
