Ampedus

| ... | ||
| Ampedus cardinalis is one of several brightly coloured click beetles found in Nottinghamshire and is probably restricted to the Sherwood Forest area, where we have found just one adult. This was in a recently cleared area of Clipstone Old Quarter, that just left the ancient Oaks intact in July 2008. The red and black Ampedus click beetles are very difficult to tell apart, but A. cardinalis is larger than A. quercicola, has less hairs and the pronutum is quite dull in comparison to A. quercicola and more densely punctured. The identification was only recently realised, as the original photographs had been lumped in with those we have of A. quercicola. It was'nt until looking through them, that we realised this one was different. | ||
