This one fails every time I run it through T&H - I hope someone can set me on the right track at least  Estonia - 19.9.2006

Grrrr ... you're probably right ... I hadn't even considered that but now you mention it it does look like Sturmia. I'll run it through the keys again with that in mind - or do my old trick of running it backwards to find the weak couplet Thanks Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |

Yes, it has a comb on the hind tibia - with an ad that is about twice the length of the comb bristles. There are 4st, black palps, bare eyes, no median discals on T3 & T4, 4dc etc. Certainly looks like Sturmia but it must have some weaknesses in other places because it doesn't key all that well.
