Thanks Andrzej for this and the other 3 ID's.
I think this might be H.modesta going by the Gallery pics, and the fact it is on my checklist Wink. In the process of going through all my pics from summer and binning stuff that is Antho's etc. If I come on a lateral of one that looks like this one, I'll post it on here.
Binned 13.5GB @ 9-10MB a pic so far...Frown

Regards Roger...Binman.

Hmm, I'm not sure ...
It could be H. borealis Grin. This species wasn't recognize earlier (before 1962) as a separate species !
I'm rather sure ...

Hi Roger ! Very impressive deduction Grin
there is an "original sin" when the specimen wasn't collected Frown
At the moment we can only assume that the specimen could be really identified to the species level Frown
