Dropephylla devillei (Bernhauer)* =grandiloqua (Luze) - Under bark of conifers in
Highlands, and broadleaves and conifers in old forest areas elsewhere; northern and
western species in GB; also in N. Ireland. Widespread but rare in Europe as a whole.
Dropephylla heeri (Heer) - Nationally Scarce. In fungi on rotten birch Betula trees and
under pine Pinus bark; Scotland
Dropephylla ioptera (Stephens)* - Under bark of dead branchwood; broad-leaved trees;
adults visit flowers of rowan Sorbus aucuparia, etc; widespread GB, probably very
local in Ireland.
Dropephylla vilis (Erichson)* - Under bark of broad-leaved trees and conifers; widespread
GB, probably local in Ireland.
Hapalaraea pygmaea (Paykull)* - Largely confined to areas of mature woodland, where it is
found in bracket fungi, bird nests and squirrel dreys in tree canopy, rotten wood, etc.;
probably not a true wood-decay associate; widespread in GB, but only one old record
from Ireland.
Phloeonomus punctipennis Thomson, C.G.* - Adults and larvae under bark of various broadleaved
trees; fungal feeder; widespread in Britain and Ireland; under-recorded due to
confusion with P. pusillus.
Phloeonomus pusillus (Gravenhorst)* - Adults and larvae under bark, mostly conifers;
widespread GB, less so Ireland.
Phloeostiba lapponica (Zetterstedt) - Under bark on Scots pine Pinus sylvestris; formerly
confined to Scottish Highlands, but now also in southern pine plantations.
Phloeostiba plana (Paykull)* - Adults attracted to fresh sap of broad-leaved trees – feed on
the sap; larvae under bark, feeding on sap as well as insects; mostly in areas of ancient
woodland; scarce GB and mainly Killarney area of Ireland.
Xylostiba monilicornis (Gyllenhal) - Nationally Scarce. Develops under bark of dead timber
of various trees, but especially conifers; larvae predatory; adults also taken in
decaying fungi; said to be a characteristic Scottish Highlands species, but now widely
in northern and western Britain and has begun to turn up in southern conifer
plantations.
Xylodromus testaceus (Erichson) - RDB1. Under bark and in decaying wood; old forest
species, only known from Blean Woods.
Coryphium angusticolle Stephens* - Under bark and in red-rotten oak Quercus, mostly in
wooded areas, possibly only ancient sites; widespread GB, but probably very local in
Ireland.
Staphylinidae: Piestinae
Siagonium quadricorne Kirby, W.* - Under moist bark on various broad-leaved trees,
especially elm Ulmus; saprophagous; south of Lancashire & Yorkshire in GB; very
local and mainly southern in Ireland.
Staphylinidae: Phloeocharinae
Phloeocharis subtilissima Mannerheim* - Amongst debris under beech Fagus bark, in moss
on trees, on bracket fungi especially Daedaleopsis confragrosa on Salix, etc. Very
local, Britain & Ireland.
Staphylinidae: Staphylininae
Atrecus affinis (Paykull)* - Under bark and in rotten wood of various trees, conifers & broadleaved
trees. Widespread and locally common throughout Britain and Ireland.
Nudobius lentus (Gravenhorst) - Develops under bark of coniferous logs, preying on other
insects and larvae; occasionally in nearby deadwood of broadleaves; originally
characteristic of Scottish pine Pinus forest, but has spread greatly over recent years
and now well established in S England & associated with hardwoods as well as soft.
