5mm, Clitheroe UK, 3 July 2012. This looks like images of N. ephippium. Fauna Eur. says it is absent from Britain, but it is on Peter Chandler's checklist. Have I got this right? Stephen R attached the following image:  [76.51Kb] |

Fauna Europaea has many inaccuracies for many groups, because it is a very hard database to compile data for. When possible, published, peer-reviewed checklists and catalogues should be consulted for accurate distributional data. |
