Abstract

The recovery of a fossil specimen of the Pterostichus angustatus (Duftschmid) in 4000 year-old deposits from Hatfield Moors SSSI, Humberhead Levels shows the early presence of this species in Britain. Before this discovery the species has been considered only as an established immigrant since about 1900. This paper discusses the biology and biogeography of this species and the implications of its recovery in the fossil record.
