Stenagostus rhombeus
One of 65 UK species belonging to the Elateridae group, Stenagostus rhombeus is a large click beetle. During the late Summer and early Autumn of 2007, we took quite a few of these at MV light during moth trapping sessions at Lound Wood. Although S. rhombeus measures between 14-21mm in length, all of the ones we recorded were easily at the larger end of the scale. This is a local species in the UK, favouring woodland within lowland pasture.
