Corporation of London, provides an alternative basis for any discussion of the
Forest fauna. This area, extending in the south to Wanstead Flats, however,
includes portions which are, today, very different in character to the larger areas
of woodland which comprise more than half of the Forest's 6000 acres.
Nevertheless, at least in contributing to a historical perspective, records from
the more outlying areas which are, or were at the time, part of the ancient
woodlands of the Epping area, provide meaningful data for faunistic analysis.
Hainault Forest, although originally part of the extensive Forest of Essex,
was disafforested in 1851, the remaining small fragments of woodland now
being fairly widely separated from the main body of Epping Forest. However,
records from the first half of the 19th century, largely those of Norman (1844),
include several species of Coleoptera not known from Epping Forest sensu Buck
(1955):- Oreodytes sanmarki (Sahlb.), Dendrophilus punctatus (Herbst),
Aphodius distinctus (Muller), A. paykulli Bedel, Ampedus cardinalis
(Schiodte), Monotoma quadrifoveolata Aube, Ptinus lichenum Marsh., Abdera
quadrifasciata (Curtis), Strangalia nigra (Linn.), S. quadrifasciata (Linn.), S.
revestita (Linn.), Callidium violaceum (Linn.), Mesosa nebulosa (Fabr.) and
Anthribus resinosus (Scop.) Most of these species are known from no other
Essex locality and, no doubt, many of them are no longer to be found in the
county. At least some of the species typical of Old Forests were still to be found
at Hainault in the 1920s, mostly in association with old hornbeams (see
Donisthorpe, 1926). A few species additional to Buck's (1955) Epping Forest
list (all, however, known from other Essex localities), were taken at Hainault
Forest by the present writer in the 1960s:- Tixagus obtusus (Westw.), Sub-
coccinella 24-punctata (Linn.), Stethorus punctillum (Weise) and Curculio
rubidus (Gyll.).
