The status and distribution of the ground beetle Leistus montanus in 2017 at its historic sites in Wales.

The aim of the 2017 data collection was to determine the current status and distribution of Leistus montanus in Wales by visiting all known locations and searching under stones on scree slopes. Once regularly recorded in the montane areas of Scotland and the Lake District, recent records of the IUCN Endangered ground beetle Leistus montanus, a species associated with high altitude scree, are confined to the Langdale Pikes in 2008 and Skiddaw in 2016, both in Cumbria. In Wales, it was historically recorded on Cadair Idris in 1829 and 1968, from Y Lliwedd on Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) in 1965 and 1968, and from Carnedd y Ddelw on the Carneddau in 1971. The only recent record was thought to be from Eglwyseg Rocks in 2007.

Lineage

Surveys were by visual searches and stone turning. A total of 96 person hours between May and October located five adult beetles including two on Cadair Idris and three from Y Lliwedd. A single adult of Leistus spinibarbis was recorded on Eglwyseg Rocks, prompting an examination of the voucher specimen from 2007 which also proved to be L. spinibarbis. No beetles were found at Carnedd y Ddelw where the habitat appears unsuitable, with little or no scree, suggesting that the 1971 record may also be erroneous. L. montanus therefore appears to be restricted in Wales to Cadair Idris and Y Lliwedd, both of which support extensive scree beds, although surveys of other sites with suitable habitat would be needed to confirm this.
