Scolopostethus grandis (Horváth, 1881) 
One of a number of visually, very similar species Nottinghamshire. Again, the available information on the status of this Lygaeid bug in the county seems non-existant and it may be that the specimen below is the first county record, found in a pine needle sample taken from Retford Cemetery in April 2023.
