Species text
This tiny brown beetle is widely distributed in England but very local and only recently recorded from seven vice-counties (Hyman & Parsons, 1992). It has an indicator status Grade 1 in Harding & Rose (1986). The species occurs in ancient broad-leaved woodland and pasture-woodland where it is found in rotten wood, recorded from beech, oak, ash, wych elm and English elm. This beetle has been found in the company of the ant Lasius brunneus. It is probably predatory. Threats include the loss of broad-leaved woodland and parkland and habitat loss, in particular, through the felling of ancient trees, removal of dead wood from living trees and the destruction or removal of standing and fallen dead wood for reasons such as forest hygiene, aesthetic tidiness, public safety or for use as fire wood. Ancient trees, and both fallen and standing dead timber, especially with the bark attached, should be retained. The removal of dead timber from ancient trees should be avoided. References
