Dystebenna stephensi (Stainton) - pRDB3. Eggs laid in crevice in bark of old oak trees, larva
feeds in the bark; large and old trees preferred. Local in London area, Dorset, Essex
& Yorkshire.
Tortricidae
Cydia leguminana (Lienig & Zeller) - RDB1. Larva in decaying bark, especially on elm
pollards which have excrescences with soft bark; probably also on other tree species;
hedgerows and wood margins; Wicken Fen until elms lost in 1970s; Epping Forest, up
until 1890.
Cydia corollana (Hubner) - RDB1. Larva in old or occupied galls of beetle Saperda
populnea on twigs of aspen; one specimen taken c.1850 at Whittlesea Mere, Hunts;
and one Burnt Oak Wood, Orlestone, Kent 1982
Pyralidae
Apomyelois bistriatella (Durrant) - Nationally Scarce B. Egg laid on Daldinia vernicosa on
burnt gorse or D. concentrica on dead birch; larvae detected by breaking off fungus to
look for white threads; full-grown larva usually burrows into the dead wood to
hibernate, pupating there next spring, although pupae have been found in the fungus;
very local, on heaths and downs across southern Britain.
Euzophera pinguis Haworth - On ash, preferring pollards; larva on living inner bark, forming
galleries, throwing black frass from entrance hole, and infesting certain trees that are
eventually killed by the larvae; local S of Yorkshire.
Noctuidae
Parascotia fuliginaria (Linnaeus) - Waved Black. Nationally Scarce B. Larva feeds on
fungi, most commonly on fallen timber: Trametes versicolor, Hirschioporus abietina
and Piptoporus betulinus; also reported from Daldinia concentrica, Phaeolus
schweinitzi, Paxillus panuoides, Stereum hirsutum and Botryobasidium; also on tree
stumps, logs, etc; makes a hammock-like cocoon suspended below the fungus or bark
by threads from each end; damp woods and wooded heaths. Most frequent in
Bagshot Sands area of Surrey-Hampshire border; but also over a wide area from
Spithead to Suffolk; may be a recent arrival - first reported in London Docks, later on
well-recorded Surrey heaths.
Coleoptera - Beetles
Carabidae - Only a few species are confined to trees, occurring either under bark on dead
trunks, boughs and branches, or within rotting timber, and are active predators.
Others use deadwood primarily as a refuge during periods of inactivity, and these are
not included in the following list.
Bembidion harpaloides Serville* - Under bark on rotting timber; also stones on moist clay;
immature adults have been found in nests of jay Garrulus glandarius; moderately
common & widespread.
Dromius quadrimaculatus (L.)* - Adults feed on mites, Collembola, etc, on bark surface;
shelter under loose bark on various standing trees; larval development beneath the
bark, where also predatory, may also feed over exposed bark surface; common.
Dromius agilis (F.) - Adults and larvae under loose bark on various standing trees; local.
Dromius angustus Brullé - On pine Pinus; probable immigrant to Britain, but in E. Highlands
as well as S. England.
Dromius meridionalis Dejean* - Mostly on broad-leaved trees, also in other situations.
Dromius spilotus (Illiger)* =quadrinotatus (Panzer) - On various trees; moderately common.
Dromius quadrisignatus Dejean - RDB1 & BAP Priority Species. On broad-leaved trees; S.
England, Glamorgan, Fife.
