Cercyon quisquilius (Linnaeus, 1761) 
Probably overlooked, or likely just under recorded in Nottinghamshire, as few entomologists enjoy the prospect of going through dung to find it. We have records from Sherwood Forest CP in 2008 and to MV light at Market Warsop in 2019, but it has recently turned up in a manure sample at Blidworth.
