Nemozomo elongotum (Linnaeus) (Trogossitidae), Eucnemis copucino Ahrens (Eucnemidae) and some other noteworthy beetles from Surrey

摘要

Using vane traps based on a design from Adrian Dutton, we surveyed the saproxylic beetle fauna of a site near Chertsey in Surrey (TQ047680). The site has some elements of wood-pasture with limited amounts of fallen dead wood. Of note was a large pedunculate oak, the foliage of which had been denuded by oak processionary moth caterpillars. This stressed tree displayed a significant amount of saproxylic beetle activity. Much of the site's perimeter consists of an ancient hedgerow with large oaks and ash trees.
