| The False Scorpions of Nottinghamshire | ||
| Pseudoscorpions (commonly known as
False Scorpions) represent one of the most under-recorded
and infrequently studied of all our invertebrates. Many
naturalists have never seen one, despite several species
being classed as common and we have failed to find them
for ourselves on many occasions. It seems that the best way of finding Pseudoscorpions, is by making specifically targeted searches in the correct habitat. But finding good, reliable information about them on the internet, is still disappointingly difficult. Pseudoscorpions inhabit a variety of habitats, from coastal strandlines to leaf litter on forest floors and from old bird nests to houses. They are extremely difficult to identify, which may obviously put many people off recording them. The UK has 27 known species of Pseudoscorpions, of which 13 are currently known from Nottinghamshire (VC56). Below is the Pseudoscorpion Chernes cimicoides and its habitat at Sherwood Forest Country Park. Pseudoscorpions can be found in a wide variety of habitats, including gardens. In the 1980's, we used to regularly find an unknown species in old, rotting leaf mould at the Arboretum Park in the centre of Nottingham. |

Nottinghamshire
Pseudoscorpion records The purpose of this page is to provide a general introduction, create awareness of and to summarise Nottinghamshire's known Pseudoscorpion records from the past 50 or so years to a wider readership. We have avoided the use of common names, as to be honest, they are as difficult to remember as the scientific names. Trying to research the status of Pseudoscorpions in Nottinghamshire, once again relied upon the work of J.W. Carr's book "The Invertebrate Fauna of Nottinghamshire" published a century ago, with more up to date information coming via the National Pseudoscorpion Recording Scheme of the UK and the NBN Atlas. In September 2015, additional information regarding Nottinghamshire records of Lamprochernes chyzeri, Pselaphochernes dubius and Roncus lubricus were provided by Liam Andrews, bringing the Nottinghamshire list to 13 species, although we believe that one may be suspect. This still means that there is considerable opportunity for new county records to be discovered, or even a species completely new to the UK is not totally out of the question. |

There are no historical records,
with the first Nottinghamshire record being from The Ropewalk in
Southwell in 1962, where it was also recorded the following year. There
were no further records until it was recorded from Newark in 1977,
quickly followed by two Sherwood Forest records in 1978 (BAS survey
team). More recent records have come from a house on Trent Lane, Attenborough in 2015 (Sexton, T.), a derelict farm at Lambley in 2016 (Pendleton, T.A. and Pendleton, D.T.), before two records from Nottingham Trent University’s Brackenhurst Campus and Potwell Dyke at Southwell in 2016 (Andrews, L.). Eight county records. |

Allochernes
wideri (C.L.

|
||||||
| Historically only one record from 1906. In Nottinghamshire, this Pseudoscorpion is known only from Sherwood Forest, where it was first recorded in 1978 (on four dates) then a record rather vaguely recorded as before 2002. This pseudoscorpion has been found a number of times under bark in the past 15 years, with a Sherwood Forest CP record in 2010, before increased surveying produced a string of records from the Sherwood Forest CP and Clipstone Old Quarter areas between 2016 and 2021 (Pendleton, T.A. and Pendleton, D.T.). 11 county records. | ||||||

cimicoides (Fabricius, 1793)
|

|
Chernes
cimicoides
is the most
regularly recorded species, with well over
40
records. Most refer to the Sherwood Forest area
but this
species will turn up at sites in other parts of the county. There are historical
records from Colwick Woods and Sherwood Forest dating to 1906
and during
the 1960's, it was frequently recorded from Sherwood Forest in 1963,
1965 and 1969. It appears to have been just as well recorded in the
1970's, with a Sherwood Forest record dated as 1973 (two records) and
another in 1977. Surveys of the Sherwood Forest area conducted by a British Arachnological Survey team, recorded C. cimicoides nine times during 1978, then a further four times in 1979 and there is a record from Mansfield in 1985. In 2002, another Sherwood Forest survey produced three more records and it has been regularly recorded at Sherwood Forest CP and Clipstone Old Quarter since. 43 confirmed records. |

Dendrochernes
cyrneus (L.

|
||||||
| Known only from the Sherwood Forest area. There are historical records dating from 1905, 1906 and 1912, but no further records until recorded in 1976 and eight times in 1978, during surveys of the Sherwood Forest area conducted by a British Arachnological Survey team. The most recent records were again from Sherwood Forest Country Park in 1985 and the Buck Gates (West) area in 2009 (Alexander, K.N.A. 2009), but it has remained elusive and unrecorded since despite a great amount of searching. | ||||||

Lamprochernes
chyzeri (Tömövary,
1882)
|
||||||
|
There are
currently four records of
Lamprochernes chyzeri
from
Nottinghamshire. It was first recorded from a house at Nuthall in 1977,
followed several years later by two Clumber Park records - from Thorney
Hill in 1984 and Paddock Wood in 2004. In 2013, a Pseudoscorpion we had taken from under Oak bark at Sherwood Forest CP, was re-identified as being L. chyzeri when examined again in 2015 and it has turned up on several further occasions since. |

Lamprochernes
nodosus (Schrank,

|
||||||
|
At the time of the last
publication of this atlas, there were just five Nottinghamshire records
of this pseudoscorpion, including one historical record dating from
Worksop in 1903. Other records included Clumber Park in 1955, Sherwood
Forest in 1969, Scrooby in 1973, Clayworth in 1975, with the most recent
at the time being from a manure heap at Tug Bridge Farm near Eakring
(Pendleton, T.A. and Pendleton, D.T.) in 2015. There have been several records since, all coming in 2020 (Pendleton, T.A.) from manure heaps or rotting straw bales found at Sherwood Forest CP in 2020 (which proved to be the first Sherwood Forest record for 51 years) at Ollerton Station Farm and Hoveringham. Currently nine Nottinghamshire records. |

Pselaphochernes
dubius
(O.P.-Cambridge, 1892)
|
|
|
There are
three records of
Pselaphochernes dubius
held by the UK
Pseudoscorpion Recording Scheme, but the status of this Pseudoscorpion
as to ever having occurred in Nottinghamshire at all is unclear.
A distribution
map
has
again
been
provided
in this atlas
based on two records
(which
probably refer to the same
individual
record)
dated as Sherwood Forest on 19/09/1978 and listed
on
the NBN
Atlas,
and a 1978-1979 Sherwood Forest record at SK620683, listed in the 2005
Invertebrate Site Register by Natural England East Midlands. But after having had first hand access to copies of the 1978-1979 British Arachnological Society's Sherwood Forest Country Park Arachnid survey report and the later 2002 Arachnid survey by Denton, Green, Legg, Hemingway, Marsh and Sharp, we felt it strange that no mention of the record was made. Neither report mentions any record of Pselaphochernes dubius and the 2002 report even provided some summarisation of all the known Sherwood Forest pseudoscorpion records. are three records of Pselaphochernes dubius held by the UK Pseudoscorpion Recording Scheme, but the status of this Pseudoscorpion as to ever having occurred in Nottinghamshire at all is unclear. We have provided a distribution map in our recent Pseudoscorpion atlas (see link at the bottom of this page), based on two records which probably refer to the same record, dated Sherwood Forest on 19/09/1978 and listed on the NBN Gateway, and a 1978-1979 Sherwood Forest record at SK620683, listed in the 2005 Invertebrate Site Register by Natural England East Midlands. The NBN Atlas also lists a 1906 record for Sherwood Forest, yet the given grid reference of SK600600 puts the record directly on the site of the former Rufford Colliery at Rainworth, although the Colliery was not sunk until 1911. To add to the confusion, Carr does not list any record of Pselaphochernes dubius in his book, or in the later published supplement to his original volume. But the status of this pseudoscorpion in Nottinghamshire should not rest there, as Pselaphochernes dubius is a species which is likely to be present in the county, so future recorders should be aware of its potentiality to occur and should continue to look for it.. |

Pselaphochernes scorpioides
(Hermann, 1804)
|
|
| The only Nottinghamshire records have come from a pile of old bark mulch at Stoke Bardolph Wood, where Adrian Dutton recorded it as new to Nottinghamshire on 02/05/20 (two) and again on 08/05/20. The same site was later visited again on July 3rd 2020 (Pendleton, T.A.) and a bark mulch sample provided a total of eight P. scorpioides, including six adults and two immatures. | |

ischnocheles (Hermann, 1804)
|

|
There appeared
to be no post-2000 records of this
Pseudoscorpion
in Nottinghamshire,
until
Chthonius
ischnocheles
was recorded
at Attenborough NR in 2015. Historically, it has occurred at Rampton,
Mansfield Woodhouse, Mansfield, Pleasley Vale, Creswell Crags Quarry,
near Bulwell Wood Hall and at Mapperley Nottingham, Sherwood Forest and
Colwick Woods between 1903 and 1906. Other previous records include Crew Lane, Southwell in 1963, several records from Sherwood Forest in 1969 and again in 1979. In the 1990's, it was found at several sites near Worksop, but Nottinghamshire's most recent records have come from the Nottingham Trent University's Brackenhurst Campus at Southwell (Andrews, L.) in 2015, Attenborough NR in both 2015 and 2016 (Sexton, T.). In 2016 there were several further records from Nottingham Trent University's Brackenhurst Campus at Southwell (Andrews, L. and Heeney, W.) and from a new site at Carlton Wood, Worksop (Andrews, L.). The latest records seem to be from the same site at Cuckney in 2017 (Pendleton, T.A.) and Stoke Bardolph Wood in 2020 (Dutton, A.). |

As far as we
are aware, this
pseudoscorpion
has been
recorded
just three
times
in the county
since historical records from Bulwell Hall Wood, Grives Wood near
Kirkby-in-Ashfield
and Mansfield Woodhouse in 1903. The most recent records came in 2003, when Chthonius tetrachelatus was recorded from Walkeringham NR in the north of Nottinghamshire (Williams, H.), with two records within quick succession for the same observer from along a disused mineral railway line at Market Warsop and then from a small wooded area at Cuckney in April 2020. |

|
||||||
|
This is easily the second most
common pseudoscorpion in Nottinghamshire and is without any doubt more
widespread than records currently suggest. It currently has a rather
patchy distribution, but there are a number of records from sites along
the Trent Valley. Three historical records from Sherwood Forest in 1912 (twice) and another from Bramcote in 1916, precede records from Clumber Park in 1964, Birklands (Sherwood Forest) in 1979, Owday Pond near Worksop in 1998 and again in 2002, Carlton Wood at Worksop from 1999 to 2001, then Ash Tree Hill Wood in Clumber Park in 2004 and Oblong Clump in Clumber Park (Binding, A.) in 2005. The county's most recent records have come from Attenborough NR (Sexton, T.) and Kelham Park (Heeney W.) in 2015, several records from Attenborough NR in 2016 (Sexton, T. and Andrews, L.), three records from Nottingham Trent University's Brackenhurst Campus at Southwell (Andrews, L., Skinner, M. and Donauer, S.) in both 2016 and 2018, three records from Netherfield Lagoons in 2018 and 2019 (Kavanagh, T.) before being found in woodland at Clumber Park alongside the A614 in 2021 and Gibraltar Plantation in 2022 (Pendleton, T.A.). |

| An elusive species, usually found in leaf litter and moss. At the time of publishing, there are still just four county records. These are from Nottingham Trent University's Clifton Campus, where one was captured in a woodland pitfall trap in 2008, from Nottingham Trent University's Brackenhurst Campus at Southwell on 04/10/15 (Andrews, L.), at Coppice Park in Nottingham on 28/12/15 (Skinner, M. and Heeney, W.) and from Stoke Bardolph Wood in 2020 (Dutton, A.). | ||||||

| A history and modern atlas of Pseudoscorpions in VC56 Nottinghamshire (2023 edition) | ||||
| ..... | ||||
 |
Pseudoscorpions (more
commonly known as False Scorpions) represent one of the
most under-recorded and infrequently studied of all our
invertebrates. Many naturalists have never seen one,
despite the fact that several species are described as
being common and finding good, reliable information about
the UK's species on the internet, is still
disappointingly difficult. This publication, brings all Nottinghamshire's post-1950 Pseudoscorpion records together into a single document and aims to produce an accurate picture of their current distribution in VC56 as of January 2023, including updated distribution maps, new species and listing all the known county records.
