Abstract
Lestricus secalis (L.) was inadvertently listed as British on the basis of an old speculation but, as there was neither firm evidence nor the existence of any specimen, it was deleted from the British list by Shaw & Huddleston (1991). However, it was suggested by Shaw (1999) that the species might be found in the native pinewoods of Scotland, and now its presence can be confirmed. Illustrated notes on its morphology and the means to identify it are given.
