Enochrus testaceus


This was fairly early on in my beetling days and looking back at three Enochrus records from this period I think two of them may have been erroneously identified. This one I'm more content with. I'm not sure there is enough detail visible in the photo (the only evidence I retained) to confirm it, but I would have used Mike Hackston's key and the characters leading to testaceus are all fairly straightforward so for this one I see no reason to doubt my original ID. It's meant to be one of the commoner species so hopefully I won't have to wait too long before I find more.
