65.016 .... B&F 1659
Yellow Horned Achlya flavicornis (Linnaeus, 1758)
Status ..... Probably under-recorded in Nottinghamshire to a degree, largely due to the early flight season. Often turns up at MV light in large numbers at Sherwood Forest sites and records are unusual along the River Trent, away from the broad band of records running north of Nottingham, north-east through the Sherwood Forest area.
