A rare weevil in
Nottinghamshire, with just two traceable records. The one illustrated
below, was beaten from Hawthorn near the Idle Valley NR visitor centre
in early April 2025 by Tim Sexton and identification was confirmed when
the specimen was keyed out under the microscope. It is likely to be the
first record of Neocoenorrhinus pauxillus in Nottinghamshire,
although there is an unconfirmed historical record on the Invertebrate
Site Register, from Barrow Hills in 1903. Many thanks to Tim Sexton, for
kindly allowing the use of his photograph below. |
