Morellia simplex (Loew, 1857)
Despite the fact that this is a commonly occurring species around Cattle, there are very few modern Nottinghamshire records despite a wealth of records dating back to the early part of the 1900's.

However, Morellia simplex is still likely to be widespread around the more rural areas of the county, but of course there are several other species making identification difficult.
