Pseudocistela ceramboides
A fairly large beetle and quite distinctive. Superficially, P. ceramboides could be mistaken for Lagria hirta, but this is larger and frequents dead and decaying trees. There are very few Sherwood records, with this one coming to MV light at Sherwood Forest CP in late June 2009.
