Lithobius pilicornis Newport, 1844
Status
GB IUCN status: Least Concern
GB rarity status: Nationally Scarce
Identification
This is one of several large Lithobius (to 35 mm) with at least 4+4 forcipular teeth that can be confused with the common L. forficatus. The diagnostic spines on the coxae of the last legs readily distinguish L. pilicornis.
Distribution and Habitat
This species is locally frequent in south-west England (where it can replace L. forficatus), but there are also scattered records from urban sites across England and south Wales.
