I have been trying to key out this small female using Igor Grichanov's download key and have come up with D.rupestris. I can't find any references to this in the forum or any photos in the gallery but there are records of it in Cumbria. The key depends on the colour of the postocular cilia and I am not sure as to whether this is referring to the row of strong setae shown in the photo below. I usually think of cilia as hairs rather than bristles so I could be looking at the wrong thing. Many thanks, Peter. peterbolson attached the following image:  [42.68Kb] |

You are right about the bristles. Running this quickly through Fonseca's key it keys to brevipennis, if I'm right in seeing a dorsal bristle on the middle metatarsus. |

Thanks Phil. You are absolutely right. I completely misread the key when I turned over a page. Very careless of me. Peter |
