Crustacea: Copepoda - Cerambycoidea.com

Alnus, I. cuticularis on beech Fagus, and even reported from Fistulina hepatica on
oak Quercus; mainly but possibly not exclusively in ancient woodland and wood
pasture. Widespread in England and Wales, but rare in southwest and north; Co.
Kerry.
Orchesia minor Walker* - Nationally Scarce B. Develops in the fruiting bodies of a variety
of wood-decay polypore fungi and possibly certain Ascomycetes; especially in
permanently damp woodlands, in carr or gorge situations. Most often found in
ancient woodland and wood pasture. Widespread in Britain, although increasingly
scarce in west. Co. Kerry.
Orchesia undulata Kraatz* - Develops in decaying dead branches of oak Quercus trees,
where possibly associated with the fungus Exidia glandulosa; also reported from
other broad-leaved trees to some extent. Adults are relatively mobile and occasionally
turn up in association with the dead wood of a wider variety of tree species outside of
the period June/July, and these may have been attracted to fruiting wood-decay fungi
for feeding (particularly in May) or be merely sheltering between periods of activity,
especially while over-wintering. Adults are occasionally found at hawthorn and umbel
blossom. Mainly found in ancient wood pastures; widespread in Britain; rare in
Ireland. Rare and threatened in central Europe.
Anisoxya fuscula (Illiger) - Nationally Scarce A. Larvae in decaying boughs and twigs, of a
wide variety of broad-leaved trees. Associated particularly with ancient wood-pasture
type habitats, including floodplain willow pollard systems; Glamorgan to Kent and
north to Yorkshire.
Abdera affinis (Paykull) - RDB1. In fungi on trees; either birch Betula or pine Pinus; Scottish
Highlands.
Abdera biflexuosa (Curtis) - Nationally Scarce B. Develops in decaying branchwood of oak
Quercus, and to a lesser extent other broad-leaved trees. Generally found on lower
dead branches which have been shaded out by the tree's own canopy. Widespread
across southern and southeastern Britain, as far west as Radnor and SE Devon, and
north to Soke of Peterborough and Cheshire; predominantly in ancient woodland and
wood pasture.
Abdera flexuosa (Paykull)* - Nationally Scarce B. Mainly develops in the small bracket
fungus Inonotus radiatus which grows especially on the dead trunks of alder Alnus,
also willow Salix & birch Betula; adult once reported from under beech Fagus bark in
winter. Most records are from ancient woodlands and wood pastures. Widely but
very thinly scattered over much of Britain. Also found on I. dryadeus fruiting on oak
Quercus in Co Fermanagh and Phellinus pini in Aberdeenshire.
Abdera quadrifasciata (Curtis) - Nationally Scarce A. Develops in decaying branchwood;
most often associated with hornbeam Carpinus, oak Quercus, and beech Fagus, but
also horse chestnut Aesculus. Generally found on lower dead branches which have
been shaded out by the tree's own canopy. Scattered across lowland southern Britain,
into the Welsh Marches, but not known from the southwest. Mainly in ancient wood
pastures, but occasionally in ancient woods.
Abdera triguttata (Gyllenhal) - Nationally Scarce A. Formerly confined to Scottish
Highlands, but now also in East Anglia. Has been found in association with oak
Quercus in Suffolk, as well as pine Pinus.
Phloiotrya vaudoueri Mulsant - Nationally Scarce B. Develops in relatively soft dead
sapwood of boughs and trunks of beech Fagus and oak Quercus, also other broadleaved
trees. Widespread in lowland England, except the far southwest and north;
almost invariably in areas of ancient wood pasture.
