Recorded
from just two sites in Nottinghamshire, Polydrusus tereticollis
would seem a rare species in Nottinghamshire based on just two records
when recorded from Farndon Willow Holt by Peter Kirby in 2003 and
most recently by Nick and Samantha Brownley, from a private woodland
site in central-north Nottinghamshire in May 2024, beating specimens
from Hazel Corylus avellana and Honeysuckle Lonicera
periclymenum. In the UK, it is widespread, but it seems apparently
almost absent from some eastern parts.
In the field Polydrusus are similar to Phyllobius
weevils, but the main difference between the two is
that in all Polydrusus, the antennal insertions are on the side of the
rostrum and they are not visible from above as in Phyllobius. |
