Thanks Stefan
According to my Checklist for Shetland, there is only one species of Argyra recorded, which is A.perplexa.

Dear Roger,

if the arista is practically apical and if the scape is pubescent dorsally, then I guess you indeed deal with A. perplexa.

Cheers,
Marc

Dear Marc
A great word "if". Not being in possession of a camera/lense combination that can focus on the pubescent hair of the scape of an Argyra from approx. 0.7metres, I think I might have to settle for Argyra sp., otherwise the anal retentives among us might have a seizure, and we can't have that..can we ?
Regards Roger
