Opilio saxatilis (C.L. Koch, 1839)
Uncommon in Nottinghamshire and seemingly restricted to dry, sandy soils. There are a slowly increasing number of recent county records, but Opilio saxatilis is far from being a common find. Recent records have come from a variety of sites including Market Warsop, Ollerton Cemetery, Mansfield and Wollaton Park.
