Gonodera luperus

This was swept from Broom under Oak at the edge of wet woodland. The ID was suspected but checked by keying using Duff.

This one 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, in the Brecks like the one above. Back then it would have been identified using the Hackston keys.
