Under Pallopteridae I find 9 Palloptera sp.:
1. ambusta
2. modesta
3. muliebris
4. quinquemaculata
5. saltuum
6. trimacula
7. umbellatarum
8. usta
9. ustulata
The key to the British Pallopteridae (by Alan Stubbs, 1994, revised by David Clements, 1999) includes all the above species plus anderssoni, bicolor, laetabilis and scutellata. This specimen keys out to scutellata :), which is the only member of the genus (in Britain) with the combination of unmarked wing apex plus greyish marks elsewhere on the wing.
