Empicoris culiciformis (DeGeer, 1773)
There are just three species of Empicoris in the UK, with Empicoris vagabundus being the most common. Empicoris culiciformis is extremely uncommon in the UK, with records scattered across the middle of the country and with none previously reported from Nottinghamshire. In early 2015, Tim Sexton found and photographed an Empicoris sp, which was later identified as being Empicoris culiciformis and the first ever record for the county.
