For me it runs to Aphantorhaphopsis selecta but it isn't a species I am familiar with so we need some input from Theo and the others Edited by ChrisR on 14-11-2009 20:53 Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London.

Andersen gives for selecta: 'Easily recognized by .. the absence or strong reduction of ventral seta on tibia 2' So, got for that, I'd say Theo
