Hi Jere,
I have Fonseca's 1978 British Doli key. So presumably it lists the true contristans, although the latest UK check list has zonatulus as synonymous with contristans - confusing!

My specimen has no pale hairs on the ventral side of Femur 1, just the short dark hairs in the photo. I think I'll try running it through the key again to see if I have made an elementary mistake somewhere. ;)

Cheers
Nigel
