Species text
Polistichus connexus is a very rare ground beetle recently recorded from only four vice-counties, all in south-eastern England. Its typical habitat is the base of cliffs near water, but it has also been taken on clay by rivers, at the roots of trees and in damp patches on sandy heaths (Luff, 1998). Adults have been found in cracks and crevices in undercliffs, but the beetle probably also occurs under stones. References
