Species text
Anotylus mutator is a small rove beetle widespread but local in England and also recorded in South East Scotland. It is difficult to identify and may be confused with A. sculpturatus, from which it is separable only in the male sex. The beetle has been found in grassland, wetland, beaches and probably other habitats, in reed litter, in sand on a beach, in cow dung and in carrion (Hyman & Parsons, 1994). References
