Rhinosimus ruficollis (Linnaeus)* - As above.
Aderidae - Larvae in decaying wood, particularly in red-rot.
Aderus brevicornis (Perris) - RDB2. Larvae in moist crumbly heart-rot of oak Quercus,
beech Fagus and elm Ulmus. Also recorded from pine Pinus. Adults active for 8-10
weeks in late summer. Localities include some of the classic ancient wood pastures,
but also found in other situations.
Aderus oculatus (Paykull) - Nationally Scarce B. Develops in moist crumbly red-rot of old
hollowing oaks Quercus; also reared from other broad-leaved trees. Adults favour
elder Sambucus blossom. Widespread in ancient parks and wood pastures of southern
Britain: north to Yorkshire and west to Ceredigion.
Aderus populneus (Creutzer) - Nationally Scarce B. Larvae probably in decaying heartwood;
associated with various broad-leaved trees. Over-wintering adults have been found in
decaying straw stacks, and at Salix catkins and hawthorn Crataegus blossom in the
spring. Apparently very localised in southern Britain, from Severn across to East
Anglia and Kent. A high proportion of the known localities are ancient wood pastures,
including floodplain willow Salix pollard systems.
Scraptiidae - Develop in rotten wood, adults fairly indiscriminately on flowers and
sometimes on foliage.
Scraptia - Adults active for little more than 2 weeks each year; in burrows of ants in heartrot.
Scraptia dubia (Olivier) – Extinct. Larvae develop in decaying heartwood; adults at flowers
of hawthorn Crataegus.
Scraptia fuscula Müller, P.W.J. - RDB1. Larvae develop in relatively soft rotten heartwood
of oak Quercus. A speciality of Windsor Great Park & Forest; single unconfirmed
record from near Gloucester.
Scraptia testacea Allen - RDB3. Larvae develop in relatively soft rotten heartwood of oak
Quercus, also beech Fagus, hawthorn Crataegus. South and southeast England.
Anaspis - Most if not all develop in dead wood; larvae of some have been found below loose
bark; feed largely on wood fibres and fungi, although will take animal food; adults
frequent flowers.
Anaspis bohemica Schilsky - RDBK. Beaten from dead pine Pinus branches and at broom
Cytisus blossom; Scottish Highlands; mainly boreo-montane.
Anaspis costai Emery
Anaspis fasciata (Forster)* =humeralis (Fabricius) - Has been reared in numbers from dead
branchwood of oak Quercus.
Anaspis frontalis (Linnaeus)*
Anaspis garneysi Fowler*.
Anaspis lurida Stephens* - Southern species, rare in north. Has been reared from dead
branchwood of oak Quercus. Adults attracted to blossom, including elder Sambucus.
Anaspis maculata Geoffroy* - Develops in small girth branchwood of a wide variety of
broad-leaved trees.
Anaspis melanostoma Costa,A. – RDBK.
Anaspis pulicaria Costa,A.
Anaspis regimbarti Schilsky* - Has been reared from a larva found in decaying oak Quercus
log, and from large girth oak branchwood.
Anaspis rufilabris (Gyllenhal)* - Has been reared from large girth oak Quercus branchwood.
Anaspis septentrionalis Champion = schilskyana Csiki – RDBI. Larvae in midland England
in half-dry red-rot of oak Quercus; adults on the most ancient oaks and at hawthorn
Crataegus blossom. Confined to relict ancient wood pastures: Blenheim, Moccas,
Sherwood, Calke; also known from Aviemore; a generally rare N. European species.
