Saproxylic beetles of Ireland ____________________________ The Great Deer Park, Glenarm, Co. Antrim – one of only two known sites for the fungus beetle Agathidium confusum. This site has a notably large extent of semi-natural ancient wood pasture and is an outstanding site in the context of Northern Ireland (Alexander et al., 2007). 14 Figure 9: The Great Deer Park, Glenarm, Co. Antrim © Keith Alexander Slish Wood, Co. Sligo – one of only two sites for the Fire-winged Beetle Pyropterus nigroruber. Remnant ancient oak woodland. Shane’s Castle Park, Co. Antrim – an important modern site for another Killarney rarity, the sap beetle Epuraea terminalis. Parkland and broad-leaved woodland. Castle Coole Park, Co. Fermanagh – one of the few modern sites for the rove beetle Hapalaraea pygmaea; a large expanse of historic parkland with many veteran oak, etc. Tynan Abbey Park, Co. Tyrone – one of the few modern sites for the rove beetle Hapalaraea pygmaea; a large expanse of historic parkland with many veteran oak, etc; more or less continuous with Caledon Deer Park which is another important area of historic parkland.
Saproxylic beetles of Ireland ____________________________ It is very obvious that historic parklands and ancient wood pastures feature very strongly in this short list, while conventional ancient woodland is relatively poorly represented. However, the detailed survey of St John’s Wood (Alexander, 2011) has demonstrated that ancient woodlands may also be rich in saproxylic invertebrates. The overwhelming majority of ancient woodland sites listed by Perrin and Daly (2010) have not yet been assessed for their saproxylic beetle interest.
