I noticed for the ant Lasius emarginatus, in the map of currently selected species, there is a dot showing near Oxford but I can find no record in this area. Can anyone explain why there is a dot showing and if there is a record why can't I find it.

I've searched all records and found one record for Lasius emarginatus in (not near) Oxford, if that's the one you're referring to. It's one of only two mainland records outside London that I can see, the other is in Dorset. It's imported from iNaturalist and looks to have been verified by you. It's from 2021 and the recorder is also called Fox.
I can't explain why you can't find it but you ought to be able to go straight to it using this link record 28209807.
