Recorded new to Nottinghamshire on April 22nd 2020, when Adrian Dutton swept
a single
Clitostethus arcuatus
(Rossi, 1794) from a field edge at Stoke Farm, Stoke Bardolph. Typically
found on Ivy, Adrian was surprised at the find and location, but there
was plenty of Ivy close by.
And there has recently been a
second county record, when four were beaten off Ivy at Kirton Wood in
late April 2025 by Nick and Samantha Brownley.
Although the NBN Atlas lists an historical
record from Harby in north-east Nottinghamshire, the record is
rather vague, apparently being a preserved specimen, with no given
collector/recorder, or determiner and a grid reference of SK8770, yet J.W. Carr makes no mention of it in his 1916
publication. |
