Pachynematus clibrichellus
(
CAMERON
, 1878)
Dumfriesshire, White Coomb, north of summit, ca
750 m
,
1 ♂
,
19.vi.2010
, leg. Liston.
Recorded by
Benson (1958)
from “Perths., Inverness,
Angus
, Sutherland and Caithness, mostly on mountain tundra, but at sea level at Wick in Caithness[..]”, but also found by
Nelson (1971)
at high altitudes in the northern Pennines of
England
. It is therefore of little surprise that
Pachynematus clibrichellus
has now been found on one of the highest hills in the Southern Uplands of Scotland, where a few other very local occurrences of ‘arctic-alpine’ sawfly species are already known (
Liston 1983b
;
1984
, record refers to
Pontania herbaceae
).
