Tribe PHYLINI
Asciodema obsoleta - Another new bug for me with singles caught in my garden moth trap on 26th June 2019 and on exactly the same date in 2020. Also swept from Broom at the meadows on 19th July 2019.

Atractotomus parvulus - Singles caught in the garden moth trap on 11th and 12th August 2020. I'd recorded this species here once before, in 2018. It's the only member of the genus that I've seen but I don't find the differences particularly obvious so have resorted to gen detting them to make sure (they've all been males).

Compsidolon salicellum - 4 singles trapped in my garden moth trap between 23rd July and 21st August 2019 then singles on 13th and 19th August 2020.

Harpocera thoracica - One knocked out of Oak at the meadows on 8th May 2020. None at home in 2019 or 2020 despite recording it here in 2017 and 2018.

Macrotylus solitarius - One caught in my garden moth trap on 23rd June 2020 (following 3 in 2017 but none in between).

Megalocoleus molliculus - Just one caught in my garden moth trap in 2019 (on 26th July) and none in 2020 (I'd caught 3 here in 2018).

Oncotylus viridiflavus - I caught 12 of these in my garden moth trap over 4 nights between 23rd and 30th July 2019 (max. 5 on 25th). Also one at Foxley Wood on 17th August. This was a particularly good showing considering I'd never identified this species before, and as its reasonably distinctive I like to think I would have done had I trapped any over the previous year or two at least. There were some more in 2020 but only 4 - between 24th and 31st July.
