Dalopius marginatus

As I've been working through my old records to update this website it's inevitable that I end up binning some dodgy records from early in my beetling efforts. Two of my earlier records of this species look more like Agriotes or possibly Athous sp. so they're out, but I think the rest look ok. They're tricky things though - I still don't find keying them straightforward.
