Typhlocyba quercus (Fabricius, 1777)
This attractive (3.5mm long) species has a rather patchy UK distribution, but Typhlocyba quercus should be expected in most woodlands containing Oak. Despite there being many historical Nottinghamshire records (from Sherwood Forest and the Nottingham area) dating from the early 1900's, it seems to have gone unrecorded in recent years, based on the information we have at present.
