Loricera pilicornis
A small (6-8.5mm) but fairly distinctive ground beetle, showing a slight metallic lustre to the pronutum and elytra. The elytra also has six noticeable depressions. This is a common species, but yet we found just one adult under a log during a survey of Sherwood Forest in July 2008.
