Gonodera luperus

This beetle was beaten from pine and was keyed using Duff. The brown form (var. ferruginea) is supposed to be less common than the black ones but a Google image search of the species brings up plenty of brown ones so I don't think it can be very unusual.

I had previously recorded a black example, also in the Brecks. Back then it would have been identified using the Hackston keys.
