How do I add a record for a species of beetle not officially on the current British list ?
I recently found some specimens of the bark beetle Gnathotrichus materiarus (Fitch, 1858) (Scolytinae), which I do not think has yet been formally added to the British list. They were found on cut timber in the New Forest, at a site several miles from where this species was first identified as an accidental introduction from North America from specimens collected in 2014 and 2015 (Inward, 2020; Journal of Pest Science).
