Ischnomera cinerascens (Pandelle) - RDB2. Develops in white-rot heartwood of large old
wych elms Ulmus glabra and perhaps other tree species; adults usually found in
closed canopy woodlands or at blossom close by, but also in old wood pastures.
Pyrenees to Caucasus, widespread but not common across C. Europe, rare or absent in
N. Thin scatter of records across lowland England, mostly in limestone districts.
Ischnomera cyanea (Fabricius) - Nationally Scarce B. Larvae develop in relatively soft
white-rotting heartwood of a great variety of broad-leaved trees; adults over-winter in
pupal cell, later attracted to blossom of hawthorn Crataegus, privet Ligustrum,
hogweed Heracleum, etc. Widespread in ancient woods and wood pastures over
much of lowland England, reaching SE Devon, W. Somerset, Welsh Borders, and N.
Yorkshire.
Ischnomera sanguinicollis (Fabricius)* - Nationally Scarce B. Develops in old relatively soft
dead wood of wych elms Ulmus glabra, adults at flowers of hawthorn Crataegus,
field maple Acer campestre, sycamore A. pseudoplatanus, oak Quercus, lime Tilia,
and guelder rose Viburnum. Most frequent in ancient woods and wood pastures of
central southern England, but with outliers in parts of Wales, Sherwood and N.
Yorkshire; throughout Europe, although more upland in S & SE.
Pythidae
Pytho depressus (L.) - Nationally Scarce A. Under fungoid bark on dead pine Pinus;
Scottish Highlands.
Pyrochroidae - Cardinal Beetles
Pyrochroa coccinea (L.) - Black-headed Cardinal. [Nationally Scarce Category B] Larvae
develop over two to three years, under bark of freshly dead broad-leaved timber
where hunt other insects; cannibalism known; pupates in cell under bark. Mostly in
ancient woodlands and wood pastures; widespread in England, extending into the
Welsh Border counties, but not penetrating far into SW England, and northwards only
into southern Cumbria; identified from about 120-150 10km squares.
Pyrochroa serraticornis (Scopoli)* - Red-headed Cardinal. Larvae develop under bark on
various dead broad-leaved trees, in a wide variety of situations in Britain. Rare in
Ireland.
Schizotus pectinicornis (L.) - Nationally Scarce A. Larvae under bark of recently dead birch
Betula, oak Quercus, Salix and alder Alnus; probably feed on detritus or mould;
Scottish Highlands & Welsh Borders.
Salpingidae - Narrow-waisted Bark Beetles. Mainly live under bark on deadwood, though
some in small branches and twigs, where adult and larva prey on other insects.
Lissodema cursor (Gyllenhal) - Nationally Scarce A. Develop in dead and dying branch tips
high in ash Fraxinus canopy; with pollarded ash only after c.14 years growth, not in
young growth. Most widespread in southeastern and eastern England.
Lissodema denticolle (Gyllenhal)* =quadripustulata (Marsham) - Nationally Scarce B. In
dead wood of a wide variety of trees including pine Pinus.
Rabocerus foveolatus (Ljungh)* - Nationally Scarce A. In dead wood, beech Fagus and pine
Pinus.
Rabocerus gabrieli Gerhardt* - Nationally Scarce B. In dead wood.
Salpingus castaneus (Panzer)* - On conifers, dead and dying branches.
Salpingus ater (Paykull)* - In burnt twigs; Scotland, Gower, Ireland.
Salpingus reyi (Abeille)* - In burnt twigs. Locally common in England and Ireland.
Vincenzellus ruficollis (Panzer)* - Under bark on various broad-leaved trees, especially
hawthorn Crataegus& beech Fagus.
Rhinosimus planirostris (Fabricius)* - Under bark on various broad-leaved trees in early
stages of decay; normally saprophagous, but will also feed on insect larvae.
