a female Eumea. The two species are very similar. General colouration and date suggests Eu. mitis. Theo |

Thanks, Theo. Eumea mitis seems to be really rare in the UK (or very poorly recorded). James |

In the area of Reading, UK in the past 10 years I have caught 41 Eumea linearicornis but only 2 Eumea mitis. |

I firgot about the shape of facial ridge. It is, indeed, linearicornis. Unusually late for this species, that got me confused. Theo |
