Hesperocorixa sahlbergi (Fieber, 1848) 
Common throughout north-western parts of Nottinghamshire and should be found throughout the county, Hesperocorixa sahlbergi is found in water bodies rich in organic matter, often occurring in woodland ponds with a covering of Duckweed. Once again, virtually all of the records on the distribution map, are attributable to the recording work of Bob Merritt.
