  Sarah,

Ampedus sanguinolentus is unmistakable although veryb occasionally the 
elytra are without the black patch and then it is possible to confuse it 
with several other red elytra'd species.

A. sanguinolentus is a south-eastern species that probably exists on all 
decent-sized heathlands in Sussex. My opinion is that it breeds mainly in 
birch stumps.

Whether or not it should be demoted to Notable B status is a good question 
because I've recorded it in quite a few places in recent years.
